THIS WEEK @ SOUTH SHORE UMC

​

SSUMC CELEBRATES ‘NINTH SUNDAY’

The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and

self-control. Against such things there is no law. 

We are grateful for the gift to worship God and fellowship together. Thank you to our Sanctuary Choir, Shore Youth Band, and Shore Song Modern Band for leading us in praise this morning. May God be pleased with the fruits have been borne through God’s Spirit in the present quarter and lead us as we commit to what fruits we will bear for God in the coming quarter. 

LITURGICAL COLOR: PURPLE 

The paraments – the cloths on the cross and pulpit – are now purple signifying we are in the

Season of Advent. The Season of Advent begins on the fourth Sunday before Christmas. This is a season of great anticipation as we prepare for the coming of Christ.  

ALL THE GOOD ADVENT STUDY WEEK 2  

Please read Praying In Advent in All The Good in preparation for joining the discussion Wednesday in Café Faith or next Sunday at the 9:40hr.

See you there!
