Events happening through Advent and Christmas
Thank You Wilmington Handbell Ensemble for the wonderful Christmas concert on Saturday, December 9th.
Salvation Army Bell Ringing at Zingos
It is that time of year again where Ebenezer and friends will have the opportunity to ring the Salvation Army Bell at Zingo’s. Our dates will be the Saturdays of December 16th and 23rd with one-hour slots from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Sign-up sheets are available in Narthex. It is a great way to help others and let your light shine by volunteering.
Gifts for the Christ Child "Whoever receives one such little child in my name receives me." Matt. 18:5 At Ebenezer Church's worship services on Sunday, December 3, 10, 17, 24, and at each special service leading up to Christmas, you are invited to bring a gift of baby food for the Christ Child. Members and friends who worship with us online can also participate by dropping off your baby food items at Ebenezer during the week or call the church office and arrange for pick-up at your home. The items we collect will be distributed to families in need through St. Stephen's Food Pantry in Wilmington. Your food gifts will truly be a blessing to the young innocents among us for whom our Lord has a special place in his heart. Please consider this ministry while shopping for your holiday meals and make a visit to the baby food aisle. Thank you and may God's Peace be with you this blessed season.
As we anticipate the holiday season, our Angel Tree tradition will be celebrated with opportunities to provide gifts for children of incarcerated parents. Each child receives two gifts, typically a toy or game and an article of clothing. Caregivers are contacted to provide appropriate gift suggestions. This year Ebenezer will be blessed with 20 Angels for 40 gifts. Gift deliveries will be made to families within nearby zip codes. Our Christmas tree with sign-up tags will be available in the Narthex. Share the Joy! Donna Dennis
