We light this candle not because everything is resolved or because we have it all figured out, but because God is coming near, closer than we can imagine. This candle reminds us that love isn't an abstract idea or a feeling we conjure up. It's the Word made flesh, entering into the chaos and noise of our world, arriving not in power but in vulnerability. May this season open our hearts to receive this love, the love that reverses everything, that puts the last first, that shows up among us even when we're not sure we're ready. God is drawing near. Third Sunday Plate Offerings Support Dean's Discretionary Fund This will take place this Sunday, as last Sunday was cancelled. Stewardship Sunday Stewardship Sunday is this Sunday, December 21st.

This is huge for us and we need YOUR help to make it happen. Getting our choir to Milwaukee costs about $10,000 for travel, lodging and meals. Here's the thing: when you support Chorale NouvEAU, you're not just funding a trip. You're putting Eau Claire on the map at one of the most prestigious choral conferences in the Midwest. You become part of the story we tell on that stage. Every dollar matters. Whether it's $5 or $50 you own a piece of this moment. Donate today and let's show Milwaukee what we're made of.

Volunteer at The Community Table ~ Sat., Jan. 17th Click Here To access the Sign Up Genius Provide Dinner at Family Promise/Beacon House – Jan 20 and Jan 23 This January, Christ Church Cathedral is providing dinner for the residents and overnight staff at Family Promise-Beacon House, a local shelter for families experiencing homelessness. We expect to serve around 15 residents and 3 to 4 staff members, and we would love your help. Here’s how you can take part: • Prepare and Deliver Dinner Meals should be dropped off at Beacon House by 5:00 PM. Dinner is served at 6:00 PM. ❤️ Stay, Serve, and Share For those who feel called, you are welcome to stay, help serve the meal, and share in fellowship. It is a powerful way to connect and show hospitality. • Support Overnight Staffing Since Beacon House staff are covering the overnight shifts normally filled by volunteers, they have asked for a $70 donation per night to help offset staffing costs. If you are interested in volunteering overnight, opportunities are still available. Guest numbers can vary. We will follow up with updates as needed. This is a beautiful way to live out our faith and support our neighbors. Thank you for your generosity and willingness to serve. ⇒ Click below to sign up through SignUpGenius Questions?
