Weekly Check-In - December 20, 2025
There is a lot happening in the next couple of days at Hebron.
Tomorrow from 1-6 is the visitation for Nancy Robison at Schoppenhorst, Underwood, and Brooks (near the church on Preston Highway). The service of witness to the resurrection will be at noon on Monday in our sanctuary. After the service there will be a meal for the family and friends in our Activities Building. Nancy's faith was always evident in everything she said and did. Her life was her witness and her kindness, devotion to family, and love of God were beautiful to behold. It is hard to lose her, but it will be a joy to celebrate her life. Beverly Caple and Betty Hogan are helping to coordinate the meal on Monday, if you can help with a dish you are invited to talk with either of them for details.
Tomorrrow is also, of course, Sunday morning worship. It's the fourth Sunday of Advent, which means Christmas is almost here. Tomorrow our scripture is Isaiah 7:10-16, Romans 1:1-7, and Matthew 1:18-24. The sermon is "Because Of God's Great Love." And there is a wealth of special music tomorrow. The choir has a lovely anthem. Regan and Donovan will be sharing, and Twila, Joe, and Jason will do "O Holy Night." And it looks like the weather should be in a much better spot this week than it was last week! A belated thanks to Bob Sarver who shoveled snow prior to last Sunday and to Rick Caple who put down salt so that if you were here, you know the sidewalks were in pretty good shape.
Tomorrow is also the day when we will have night one of our Live Nativity, from 6:30 - 8:00 p.m. There will be food, hot chocolate, and coloring sheets (smaller sheets than when we've done this in the past, that are then assembled to make a larger picture - the colored pencils are sharpened and waiting - thanks Beverly!). The Live Nativity will also be on Monday night, also from 6:30 - 8:00 p.m.

Christmas Eve Candlelight Service is Wednesday, December 24 at 11:00 p.m. Join us for this wonderful Christmas Eve tradition as we sing carols, hear the Christmas Gospels, and light candles before we head off into the celebration of Christmas. We will have Nan Wilkin's granddaughter Julia with us this year to share special music on Christmas Eve which will be a gift.
Celebrate Life!
