About The Event
December 14 is the Sunday for joy! Traditionally the third Sunday in Advent has been called Gaudete, which comes from the first word of the Latin Mass: “Gaudete in Domino semper,” translating to “Rejoice.” This year we will practice joy with music, a Live Nativity, and worship in the Courtyard! After worship, those who are interested are invited to enjoy lunch together before taking joy on the road as we go caroling to West Raleigh’s homebound members and friends.
10:00 AM
Spend time with the nativity animals, eat cookies, drink cocoa & coffee, and enjoy festive music - all in the courtyard!
10:30 AM
Interested kids and adults are invited to the costume closet! Will you be an angel, a shepherd, a wise one, or...?
