Presbyterian Church offers special
“Service of Lessons and Carols”
Worship at the Oakland-Cambridge Presbyterian
Church at the top of Main Street in Cambridge will take on a different air and
tone this Sunday as the congregation observes a special Advent Service of
Lessons and Carols.
Members and friends of the congregation will
read from the scriptures the stories of the coming of the Messiah and a poem
about the importance of preparing for that coming instead of getting swept away
by the secular and materialistic demands of the season. The readings will be
interspersed with hymns, carols, and anthems.
The Service of Lessons and Carols will be held
during the normal worship hour at 10 a.m. on Sunday, December 4. Church school
for children and adults is held at 9. The children are currently preparing for
the children’s Christmas program and newcomers are invited to get on board so
they can be part of the presentation on December 18. “If you’ve been thinking
about giving your children the opportunity to learn about Jesus, this is a great
time to bring them to Sunday School,” said Pastor Gretchen Lord Anderson
The Oakland-Cambridge Presbyterian Church is
located at 313 E. Main. It is a redeveloping congregation which, in the past
year, has begun to realize new life in Christ. It welcomes all people of all
ages.

Presbyterian Church set to discuss
“Purpose Driven Life;” guests welcome!
Have you heard about the book “The Purpose
Driven Life” and thought you might like an opportunity to read and discuss it
with others?
Written by Rick Warren, the book has been on
the bestseller lists for several years now and has been given credit for helping
turn around individual lives and the lives of entire congregations.
The congregation at Oakland-Cambridge
Presbyterian Church wants to see what it’s all about. They’re inviting anyone
who’s interested to join them in the process.
Beginning Sunday, March 6, at 10:45 a.m., the
first discussion will take off led by Pastor Gretchen Lord Anderson. Each week
the discussion will cover four chapters (or “days”) of the book. Each
discussion will last one hour. The congregation will take a break from its
study on March 27 and April 3.
“The great thing about this book, first, is its
basis in scripture. And the second great thing about it is its significance for
people regardless of where they are in their walk with God. They can be brand
new to the faith, long-time believers, or folks who are just interested in
exploring what it might mean to have God, Christ and the Holy Spirit giving
purpose to their lives,” Rev. Anderson said.
There are always refreshments available for the
Sunday fellowship hour when the discussion will be held. The 10:45 a.m.
scheduled time immediately follows the 9:30 worship service.
“We would love to have folks just walk in right
off the street and join us. None of us has all the answers. But all of us can
help ask the questions.”
Oakland-Cambridge Presbyterian Church is
located at 313 E. Main in Cambridge.
