The Deacons would like to invite everyone to join them on November 30, 2024, from 2:00 to 4:00 PM for Hot Cocoa and Cookies for the ‘Hanging of the Greens.‘ This joyous event, filled with excitement and festive spirit, marks the beginning of Christmas when we decorate the Narthex and Sanctuary. The Deacons also request that each family bring a Christmas Ornament to add to the festive tree in the Sanctuary, as your participation is what makes our community events truly special.
During Thanksgiving/Christmas, we at First Church in Pembroke will collect canned goods, stuffing, cranberry sauce, gravy, etc., to donate to the Firehouse Pantry. Your generous contributions, which significantly impact those in need, are a source of pride for our community. The deacons have placed a container in the Narthex for your convenience. Thank you in advance for your generosity.
