SUMMARY:Angel Tree for Harvest Youth Club
DESCRIPTION:This holiday season\, Ford’s Chapel invites you to share the joy of giving through our Christmas Angel Tree. Each year\, we partner with the Harvest Youth Club\, a local non-profit dedicated to nurturing children through their after-school program. \n\n\n\nFrom December 1–28\, our Angel Tree will be filled with tags representing items the Youth Club needs to support students  everything from school supplies and snacks to games and learning materials. Simply choose a tag\, purchase the item\, and return it to the church (no wrapping needed!). Together\, we’ll help provide the tools and encouragement these children need to thrive.

SUMMARY:Advent Sacred Pause - Lakewood UMC
DESCRIPTION:During this Advent season\, you are invited to a sacred pause each Thursday at 12:30 PM at Lakewood UMC—a time set apart for quiet learning\, gentle practice\, and deeper awareness of God’s presence. Advent invites us to wait\, to listen\, and to prepare our hearts. Together we will explore simple ways of resting in God’s love\, opening ourselves to grace\, and nurturing peace within and around us. \n\n\n\nEach gathering will include a brief reflection\, a shared period of silent prayer\, and time for conversation about the experience. No prior experience is needed\, only a willingness to be still and open to God. This is an opportunity to slow down\, breathe\, and let the season speak to your heart in a new way. \n\n\n\nCome as you are\, bring your curiosity and openness\, and step into this rhythm of holy attentiveness as we journey toward the light of Christ’s birth. \n\n\n\nThis sacred event is facilitated by Dr. Robert Ferrell\, NAC Spiritual Formation Team member.

SUMMARY:Blue Christmas Service
DESCRIPTION:The holiday season is often filled with joy and celebration\, yet for many it can also be a time of remembering losses\, facing struggles\, or carrying heavy hearts. Our Blue Christmas Service offers a sacred space of comfort\, reflection\, and hope for anyone who finds the season difficult. \n\n\n\nThrough scripture\, prayer\, music\, and quiet moments\, we will acknowledge both sorrow and God’s promise of light in the darkness. This gentle service reminds us that Christ’s peace is for all\, especially those who need healing and reassurance. \n\n\n\nAll are welcome to come as you are—whether seeking solace\, offering support\, or simply resting in God’s presence. We will gather in the Worship Center.
