International Holiday Potluck Brunch

It seems that each family member needs to have that dish at the holiday dinner table to make it complete. With such a culturally diverse Fellowship Family, the thought was to bring all of those dishes together on Sunday, December 7, after worship to enjoy a meal together. Whether it’s a savory dish, a sweet dessert, or a unique beverage, each contribution will help create a rich tapestry of tastes and stories. Participants are asked to bring a dish labeled with its name and country of origin; a brief description or information about special traditions associated with the dish are encouraged. We will follow up with Christmas Carols and a $5 gift exchange.

Matthew Black in Concert – The Everything is Terrible and No One is Okay Tour

All are welcome to the Sanctuary for a free* concert to hear Matthew Black! 

Matthew Black is an indie-folk singer-songwriter known for incisive lyrics and singable melodies. The literal son of a preacher man, Matthew left his job as a mild-mannered IT manager in 2022 to make music full-time. His songs are honest, earnest, questioning, and provocative. Humorous to deeply serious. Profane to sacred. Simple, melodic tunes that can transport you and make you believe there might be meaning and kindness in a chaotic world. And you’ll still be humming the chorus days later. 

He’s been compared to songwriter heroes like Cat Stevens and Paul Simon, along with contemporaries Jason Isbell, Sufjan Stevens, and Joe Pug. His sophomore album, A Little Closer, was released in 2024. He lives in Louisville, Kentucky.

*A love offering will be taken as a token of gratitude for Matthew’s talents shared with those gathered.
