Are you or someone you love involved in caring for another person? Caregiving can take many forms and happen in many ways. It can be shopping for groceries for a neighbor, driving a loved one to a medical appointment, or providing support for a short or long period of time. You may be helping someone who needs round the clock care. You may be spending more and more time dealing with medical issues that are affecting a loved one. The person receiving care may live close by, or be many miles away.

Most of us will be caregivers at some point in our lives. Sometimes this is expected, and sometimes caregiving happens suddenly as the result of an accident or illness. There are many physical, emotional, and spiritual aspects of caregiving. The January 17 HOW TO BE A RESILIENT CAREGIVER conversation will provide an opportunity for a faith based discussion of caregiving, time to share stories of caregiving, and an opportunity to build resilience through prayer and fellowship.

Please join us for our special Christmas Eve worship times of 3 pm, 5:30 pm, and 10 pm. Each service will include candlelight worship at the conclusion of the service and special music throughout the service.

A Blue Christmas service offers people a sacred space to not only remember their loved ones who have passed, but also to name their losses and griefs from the previous year, or maybe to recognize their disappointments or loneliness or fears. It is a refuge, of sorts. A way to acknowledge that they are not alone in the midst of their hurt. That others are hurting, too.

Relive the wonder of the miracle of the Christmas story.

We will be doing our live nativity INSIDE from the cold with live animals.

Join us to celebrate all the beautiful angels among us. We will have lunch provided and an angel themed gift exchange.

Please join us for a traditional Thanksgiving meal provided by the church and congregational members.

This event is especially for seniors that do not have family in town or a place to go for the holiday. We are happy to host anyone who does not have a place to go for Thanksgiving though. No one should be alone for the holidays.

Interested in helping with the event?

• Volunteer to help! (set up, serve food, bag leftovers, help clean up)

• Donate money to help buy turkeys and containers.

• Bring food to share at the meal!

• Invite friends and neighbors (especially seniors) that would be alone otherwise.

Please join us for trivia, snacks (including freshly popped popcorn), and a family friendly movie!

Invite your family, friends and neighbors to join us in this community event!

Skilled artisans display the perfect gifts for your loved ones this holiday season. Purchase homemade cookies, candies, bars, and fudge sold by the pound, as well as other baked goods and jams. 

While shopping enjoy a scrumptious cinnamon roll and coffee or a soup lunch. Santa will be here!!

Proceeds from the bazaar will be given to the Hope Food Pantry and the Meridian Food Bank Backpack Food Program for the West Ada School District.
