Our early service is unaccompanied by music and usually lasts about 50 minutes. Coffee and fellowship are offered before the service begins in the parish hall, while the sanctuary is available for quiet prayer. Another coffee hour follows the service.

Our late morning service is accompanied by organ music, congregational singing, and the offerings of our adult mixed choir. On the first, and occasionally second, Sunday of each month, Soul Purpose, our contemporary music band, accompanies the liturgy. Nursery care is available for our youngest members and guests. A festive coffee hour for children and adults follows the Eucharist.

 
Giftmaker's Toys: will be collected on Sunday, November 29th, to be distributed to local families. Suggestions to make this year's gift giving a success: toys, books, and games for children 4-14; sporting equipment such as basketballs, volley balls, soccer balls, plastic bats and balls; infant and preschool toys; holiday stockings and stocking stuffers. Because of the difficult economic times for many families, the need is even greater this year than ever. Monetary donations are also appreciated since no school district money can be used for this project.
 
Advent Fair: will be Sunday, November 29th after both services. If you would like to reserve a table to sell your crafts and goods, please call the Office. There is no charge for the tables, but please tithe to the church from your sales.
Come and get a start on your Christmas shopping!

We could use some Help Moving Stuff for the Santa's Second sale on Tuesday, December 1st, and 5pm. Many hands make light work. Thanks for helping make this annual fundraiser a success!

Santa's Seconds Sale: will be held on Saturday, December 5 from 10 AM to
3 PM. Setup will be on Friday, December 4, starting at 10 AM. We need volunteers! A light lunch will be served on both days.  For the past two years, profits from the sales have been higher than ever before. This was due to the high quality of the donations and taking the time to display them in an appealing manner. Things that always sell well include jewelry, stationery, greeting cards, Xmas decorations, clothing with a Christmas motif, linens, pictures, knick-knacks, candles, toys, games, and current books. Items should be in good repair. Old pieces of luggage; single, unmatched glasses and coffee mugs; and old computers and accessories do not sell well. Please donate them to local thrift shops. Donations may be left in the basement of the Cornerstone or on the back of the stage in the Parish Hall during the week before the sale. If you have questions, please call Stephanie Roberts at 253/840-4370 or email: whixers6@yahoo.com. Thank you!

St. Nicholas will be visiting us on Sunday, December 6th, at the 10am Eucharist. This is a first Sunday of the Month Children's Chapel day, so be sure to bring your kids at 9am for Sunday School, then stay for a special visit during sermon time.
