All Church Advent & Christmas Worship Brainstorming
The Inn – Housing the Holy
Based on a series from Worship Design Studio/Marcia McFee
Wed., November 10, 2021 at Le Fleur Shoppe, 4210 Grand Haven Road, Norton Shores, MI
6:00 p.m. Pizza Potluck
7:00-9:30 p.m. Brainstorming for Worship Nov. 29 – Dec. 26, 2021
You are invited to join the worship team on Wed., Nov. 10 at Deb Moon’s Le Fleur Shoppe. Members of all ages and backgrounds are invited to participate in the one-time commitment. The ideas generated at the brainstorming are used in worship.
As we enter the Advent season, how can our churches become houses where the Holy will be born anew – offering respite, sustenance and care, opening the doors ever wider to those seeking shelter from the onslaught of life so they might find the light of Hope, peace, Joy, and Love?
The pizza potluck begins at 6:00 p.m. Please bring a dish to share. Brainstorming is from 7:00-9:30 p.m. Safety protocols will be the same as at church (masks are recommended for those who are not fully vaccinated). Since we are meeting in a flower shop, you might want to dress for a cool room temperature.
Click here for the brainstorming packet. Please read the Scripture readings and Pastor Mary’s message synopses and preview the videos before we gather if at all possible. Printed copies are available at church. There is a sign-up sheet on an information tower at church. You can also contact the church office (231-798-2181 or Office@LakeHarborUMC.org) or Karen Booth.
Please feel free to pass your ideas or questions along to Karen if you can’t make it to the brainstorming.
