What better way is there to say “thank you” to the Lord than to gather in His house for worship, praise and thanksgiving. We will have one special mid-week Advent service on Wed. Dec 3rd at 6:30pm. The service is entitled, “A Service of Lessons and Carols for Advent.” The service consists of nine Scripture lessons read by members of Mt Olive, hymns and choir anthems that reflect the Advent theme of expectation rather than fulfillment of Christmas. There is no sermon during this service. Sunday school children’s Christmas service will be held on Sunday, Dec 21st during our 10am service. Their rehearsals are planned for Saturdays, December 6th, 13th, & 20th from 9-10:30am Our Q4 mission project has been designated to the MLC Student Tuition Assistance Fund. This new fund was established to help keep MLC graduate debt to a minimum as they enter their call into full-time ministry.
