Christmas Eve at First Congo
Greetings FCCO Community,
Soon the Advent season, this time of waiting and anticipation, will be coming to its end, and the birth of Christ is upon us. We plan to celebrate this joyous event here at First Congo with a Christmas Eve service. The service will be filled with music, celebration and testimony and will be followed by fellowship with refreshments.
If you are able, please bring a sweet or savory finger food dish to share for the fellowship hospitality following service. We are looking forward to singing and celebrating with you!
WHEN: Christmas Eve, Friday, December 24th, 2010
TIME: 7 p.m.
Have a blessed day,
Worship Planners
Update:
Our worship time together will be filled with seasonal singing, scripture, and prayers; along with music by FCCO Voices of Praise and guest soloist Tammi Brown, a funky jazz trio, a surprise guest pipe organist, and a dramatic reading of a fascinating, grace filled, story about politicians raising taxes, shepherds having a "delusional" experience, and a homeless refugee family with a newborn baby squatting in a barn.
Sweet & savory food, coffee, and fellowship (and chances to catch up with old friends and make new ones) will follow the service.
Please join us as we celebrate Jesus being born in Oakland, and in all of us on this special night!
With Blessings and Warmest Regards, Jeanne
