• Who will help? With your help Stettler United Church could participate in the activities on Friday, November 30th (when the Christmas Tree is lit up at the intersection downtown). One idea is have caroling in the sanctuary, another is to have people of all ages make luminaries. These could be made in remembrance of a loved one who's died, or in other ways symbolizing living in the light and hope of God's love! Luminaries could go home and/or be shared with the church for use on December 16th Service of Light and Hope, and on Christmas Eve. Wouldn't the ramp, and front steps look lovely adorned in this way? Again, who will help?
