During the Sundays in December as we navigate Advent join us if you wish in bringing a bit of joy each week. No worries if you do not wish to participate but if you do, see the calendar for the fun option for each Sunday. 

Joint worship service

On Sunday December 29th at 11 AM we will meet together with our friends down the street at St. Joseph CME to worship together. 


This means we will not be at the Varsity on this Sunday

Strangely Warmed

It is getting cold outside and with that we should look to love those that have to live outside. Every year we provide new or gently used winter clothing items in the lobby of the Varsity for those who need to stay warm. We are going to start collecting donations for  COATS, BLANKETS, WINTER HATS, GLOVES, SOCKS, and SCARVES


We will distribute the winter clothing items through December and January at the Varsity Theatre. 


Drop off any donations at the Varsity, Sunday mornings after 9 AM.

An advent word for the way: malichi

by: Pastor allison otwell


The prophets of old had a message for a particular time and place. They spoke the word of God boldly to people in their community. The message was often a hard teaching, but one that would reorient the hearts and minds of the people so that they might be delivered from chaos and catastrophe. These same prophets of old were pointing to the Way of Jesus, anticipating his arrival and deliverance. Let’s tune in to the word they are speaking to the people of The Way.
