December 15 – Is there a Hell?

Eternal punishment in the afterlife as the destination for bad people is a pretty standard Christian belief. Or is it? Where did the concept of hell come from? What was its role in the past – or for our faith today? Are there other ways to look understand the notion of hell?

After Worship on Community Sundays

  • All gather in the back of the church for a party featuring heavier snacks. Crafts are available for children and families while adults are invited to converse or participate in other activities around the church.

December Diaper Drive

You can make a difference in a family’s life by donating to this year’s Diaper Drive. We are working through the Baltimore organization ShareBaby https://sharebaby.org/. We are offering two ways for members to donate diapers, wipers and diaper cream. 
 
  1. Bring your diaper supplies on the Sunday mornings beginning on December 3 through Christmas Eve. Place these items under the “Angel Tree” in the reception area in the back of the church. 
  2. You can ship diapers directly to ShareBaby from online retailers such as Amazon (amazon.com). The shipping address is 1792 Union Ave, Baltimore MD 21211. It would help our Outreach Committee to know how many items were donated so if you use this method it would be great if you let Outreach Chair Anne Monroe (annekmonroe@yahoo.com) know the amount of your offering. 

This Christmas, as we celebrate the birth of our Savior who was born in trying circumstances, let us remember the children in need among us today.
