Announcements

Join in the fun this afternoon as we go caroling at a local nursing home and come back to the church for a soup dinner and program. We will meet at the church at 4:00 and plan to be back to eat around 6:00.

There is one poinsettia at the front of the church sanctuary for each family. Please feel free to take one today or next Sunday.

There will be no Sunday school on December 25th or January 1st to allow more time with family.

We are working to update our online directory. Please go to mennochurch.net/members to make sure that your contact information is up-to-date and accurate. If not, please email any changes to adstrickland@gmail.com.

Please Prayer For:

  • The Waynesboro Area Refuge Ministry (WARM) as they plan to open their doors to the area homeless this winter.
  • A.J. Jones as he heals from a broken arm and praise God that his tumor was benign!
  • Those traveling during this holiday season.

Luke 1:28, “The angel went to her and said, ‘Greetings, you who are highly favored! The Lord is with you.’”


Thank you for joining us in worship today.  If this is your first time at Staunton Mennonite,
please fill out the “Welcome” card in the back of the pew and place it in the offering plate.
