Our Potluck Lunches will be held on the first Sunday of each month!

Join us after worship on Sunday, December 11th for a Chili Cook-Off - all are welcome. The tables will be set and all you need to do is bring a dish to share. Food that needs to be refrigerated or kept warm can be dropped off in the Fellowship Hall kitchen before church and the Kitchen Crew will follow your instructions. Looking forward to seeing everyone for a great meal and some fun activities.

Habitat for Humanity of Addison County Christmas card sale is back on! Habitat will once again hold their alternative gift fair and Christmas card sale during coffee hour after church on December 18. This is a chance to give your friends or relatives a gift that will help Habitat for Humanity of Addison County build their next home. Gifts are priced so that children can also participate. Shop the alternative gift fair!

Join in our annual community "sing-along" of selections from Handel's Messiah here at our church on December 18th at 2:00 p.m. A Middlebury holiday tradition open to all! We invite you to come and sing along (or simply watch and listen!) as we join together for many choruses from Handel's "Messiah" -- including the famous "Hallelujah" chorus! 

We welcome string players (violin, viola, cello); kindly bring a music stand. We'll also hear soloists from our local community and church choirs. Jeff Rehbach conducts. Music scores provided; the church is well ventilated (masks welcome); donations gratefully accepted at the door ($5-$10 individual; $10-$20 family). 

Come joyfully make music this season with friends and neighbors, a Middlebury tradition since 1984! More information: jeff.rehbach@gmail.com or 802.989.7355
