O Come, O Come…to Advent hymns & theology!

Enhance your understanding of Advent hymns by moving beyond words and music to an examination of cultural, historical, and theological contexts. Join us at 9:15am each Sunday during Advent as we dive into the origins and development of a few of our most beloved Advent hymns. Experience hymns played on our wonderful organ, followed by a careful theological study of the poetic words that we call 'our hymns.' Warm your soul this Advent season with a deeper appreciation of the Church's song as we anticipate the coming of the Christ child!

The Journey to Bethlehem: A Godly Play experience

During the four weeks of Advent, we are all on the way to Bethlehem. We are all making the journey. We are all getting ready to enter the Mystery of Christmas. So let’s go with the prophets, the Holy Family, the shepherds, the angels, the Magi and all the rest to make the journey that was not just back then. It is also now. Follow along from home with your Advent kit.

Purchase your take-home Advent kit for $30. Limited quantity available. Kit includes candles, floral pins, wreath base and weekly devotional booklet, “A Journey to Bethlehem,” for children and families of all ages. Follow along in your booklet, which supplements the Godly Play videos posted each Sunday at 9:15am. All proceeds from the sale of these kits will benefit Saint John’s outreach efforts. Contact Allison Pace to reserve your kit.

Conversations in the Courtyard

Courtyard Conversations hot topic: Saint Nicholas for Parents. Bring us your toughest questions, concerns and challenges of teaching your children the true meaning of Christmas amidst the commercialized and online shopping craze. Plus, how to talk to your kids about Santa Claus while keeping the magic alive.

Feast of Saint Nicholas Service Project & Fellowship

Join us in the courtyard for fellowship and service to support Binghampton Christian Academy and Saint John’s homebound parishioners. This year, we ask you to Give & Take for others by bringing a pre-packaged snack food donation to support student residents of BCA. Afterwards, enjoy wassail, hot chocolate and caroling. On your way home, take a poinsettia to the doorstep of a homebound parishioner. A meaningful event for all ages, young and old!

*Snack drive donations should be individually wrapped packages and nut free.
