2025 at Milwaukie Covenant Church

 
Greetings MCC Family!
 
I hope you are doing well and, in the midst of all of the Christmas season craziness and business and distractions, that you are able to slow down just a little in this final week of Advent and spend some time preparing for the celebration of the birth of Christ.
 
A couple things: first, join us this Sunday for the Morning of Story and Song.  This will be a time of worship focused on scripture telling the story of God entering our world, and songs that celebrate the coming and birth of Jesus.  There is also the Pancake Breakfast before Worship at 9:30 am in the Fellowship Hall.
 
Second, we are working on a fun and meaningful Christmas Eve service that will include people of all ages.  Join us and bring a friend (or two)!
 
Lastly, beginning Sunday morning January 5th we are starting a new Sunday Morning Message Series called “The Story.”  We’re taking all of 2025 to go through the story of scripture from “In the beginning God created” to “Come quickly Lord Jesus.”  Now, we won’t be able to do EVERYTHING in between, but what we will be doing is tracing the arc of the story of scripture from creation to the birth of the Church and trying to understand the flow of The Story of God and God’s people.
 
We will have two new things.  First, each quarter there will be a reading schedule if you would like to know what we are talking about each week.  Second, beginning on  January 9th we will be offering a weekly gathering where we can dig deeper into what was talked about on Sunday.  That gathering will be offered twice on Thursdays, once at 10am and again at 6:30pm. 
 
You don’t have to make a commitment for the year, you can come as little or as often as you want. It should be a fun, informative way to look further into the passages we are studying each Sunday.
 
Hope to see you there!
