December Happenings
News, Events and Updates from Vienna Presbyterian Church
Merry Christmas
The Vienna Presbyterian Church community invites you join us as we celebrate the birth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.  It's a wonderful time to put aside the busyness of the holiday to-do lists and settle into the warmth of community at the Glorious Sounds of Christmas concert, the Messiah Concert and Sing Along and Christmas Eve worship services. 

Come refresh and renew.  Bring your family, friends and neighbors.  All are welcome here.  We look forward to seeing you! 
Conversations at Christmas 
Learn how to share your faith during the holidays!  Sunday, December 7,  
11:00am - 12 noon or 12:15 - 1:15pm. 
Vienna Presbyterian Church, Great Hall.  Read more. 
Advent Service for Healing and Wholeness
There are Christmases and holidays when we're hurting and unable to feel celebratory as others seem to be able to do.  Read more.
Alternative Gift Market
Visit the Alternative Gift Market in the Great Hall between services through December 21.  Purchase beautiful Christmas cards or art stationery designed by Haitian children; give the gift of a Bible story book to a Haitian student or buy a "trio of rabbits" to support a needy Haitian family.

Planning is underway for 2015 Summer Mission Projects
SMPs are a great chance to give back and grow in your relationship with Christ.  Information for 2015 will be shared at an interest meeting on January 18 after the 11:00am worship service.
