What is our only hope in life and death? Scripture tells us that we are not our own but belong to God. This is the answer we can boldly give as Christians, but for many in our community, there is no hope. For that reason, the church and those within it are called to be a beacon of light, bringing the hopeless to newfound hope in Christ. With this in mind, we endeavour to host a Christmas supper open to the community at the Warman Church on December 13, serving a traditional meal of mashed potatoes, vegetables, stuffing, chicken, and gravy, along with dessert.
This would be preceded by a night of caroling at the Warman Co-op Grocery Store on December 3, where we will hand out freshly baked goods, hot chocolate, and invitations for the Christmas meal. We could simply buy all the supplies needed, but we believe that neglects the church’s role. Although this is intended for the Warman community, the invitation to serve is open to everyone in the church, with the expectation that you come willing and ready to serve.
There are many opportunities for those who want to get involved! We need carollers, bakers, greeters, servers, cooks, and people to help with cleanup for this outreach mission. Our hope is that this will be a churchwide effort, a cause for which the Bergthaler body of believers can work towards a single outreach effort. Using the available link or the sign-up sheet in the foyer (please use only one to avoid confusion), our goal is to gather most of the needed supplies from our members.
