First United Church of Arvada is open for in-person Worship in addition to offering our services over Zoom. Request Zoom link here.

Children begin worship with their family, then partway into worship children will be invited to leave with their teachers for their classes. “Worship & Wonder” is for K-3rd grade children. “Engage & Explore” classes is for 4th grade and up (and only meets about 3 Sundays a month). See the Ministry for Children page page for further descriptions of the classes. The nursery is available for children age 5 and under. And know that children are always welcome in the sanctuary with you!

Today:

• Third Sunday of Advent – Lighting of the Advent Candle for JOY by the Bower Family
• Rev. Karin Kilpatric’s message “The Magnificat: Mary’s Joy in the Midst of Trial”
• Special music by Sue Wedaa & our children on bells & drums
• MOUSE HOUSE after worship for all kids/youth
• Choir Rehearsal after worship

Celebration! Choir Rehearsal for the Christmas Cantata, which will be presented during the worship service on Dec 21.

If you love to sing, we’d love to have you–if not right away for the Cantata, then in January to start the new year! All skill levels are welcome. Rehearsals are after worship on Sundays. Contact Sue Wedaa or the Church Office for more info.

The Mouse House Christmas Shop is a tradition here at First United where kids can buy items for family members for only a quarter or two, each! The items are all donated by our congregation. The Christmas Shop takes place after the worship service on Dec 14th. Christian Ed will donate proceeds to an organization in need. Contact the Church Office if you are available to help wrap gifts for the kids!

Please gather with us starting at 8:30am, with the morning’s discussion beginning at 8:45am.
