Congregational Church Plans Caroling for December 20

Christmas Eve service at 7 PM

By Sandy Miller, Andover Congregational Church

We have a very busy time ahead of us as we celebrate the Advent and Christmas season. Advent began on Sunday, November 29 and continues through December 20. The first and third Sundays in December, we will be celebrating Holy Communion.

There will be a special choir/carols on Sunday, December 20 at our 9:30 AM service. Also, on December 20, we will meet at 5 PM, at the church parking lot, to go Christmas caroling in the neighborhood. Please let us know of shut-ins/elderly that night enjoy a visit of caroling by calling the Church office (735-5160) . The caroling will be followed by a Church family Christmas party at approximately 7 PM, place not yet determined (perhaps at Grange Hall). Call Church office to check. All are invited to join us at either one or both of these events.

The Christmas Eve service of lessons and carols will be held at 7 PM and is designed for the whole family. We invite you to join us for this beautiful and inspirational service as we celebrate the birth of the Christ Child.                   

We continue to have “Second Saturdays for Guys” held at the Grange Hall in East Andover from 8:30 to 10 AM. Good food and fellowship and inspiring speakers. Call Bob Grover (470-7248) for more information. A women’s group meets on the same day and time, only at a different place. Call Kathy Kelly (934-4961) for further details..

Mark your calendar – Franklin Graham (son of Billy Graham) is coming to Concord on January 19 with the “Decision America Tour Mission”. He feels the Lord is calling him to do a 50-state tour in preparation for our 2016 elections and he is calling for the churches to be awakened to their calling to impact our society with the Gospel. Check newspapers/internet for more details on exact place/time as the date grows closer.

Our regular worship services are held at 9:30 AM. Please join us in worship. A blessed and Merry Christmas and a joyous New Year to all!!
