Christmas Week Events at Reedsport Foursquare

 

At 5:00 PM Sunday, December 21 folks are invited to join members of Reedsport Foursquare for a hay ride, campfire (weather permitting), and caroling. We'll sing to some great people who normally don't get out much and enjoy the journey along the way. Hot Chocolate and cookies will be waiting next to a warm fire back at the church. Bundle up and show up ready to spread some joy.

 

On Christmas Eve, Wednesday, December 24, Reedsport Foursquare will be having a special family style song service with communion and a reading of the Christmas story. The service begins at 6:00 PM and lasts just an hour with lots of singing, a story for children and a quiet time of reflection. All area families are invited to come and share in God's presence before opening their presents.

 

Any questions regarding the service should be directed to the church office at 541-271-4414.
