Palms, Processions, Hosannas, a Pony to ride... and no rain!

Most likely our most boisterous event of the year!

The first Sunday in the season of Advent features a service in which the Church School presents readings explaining the elements used symbolically to increase our understanding and appreciation of the season, such as evergreen garlands, holly swags and poinsettia plants. Between each reading an Advent hymn is sung by the congregation and the children and youth decorate the sanctuary with that element.

Willard and Shirley, besides being well-loved members of the East Church community, love to cruise. In recognition of their planned 101st cruise, Coffee Fellowship on November 8, 2009 was all about cruising!

Rain may have forced the picnic to be held inside, but no amount of precipitation could dampen the energy or the festive spirits on Children's Sunday.
