Life of Webster Groves Baptist Church

Our church is sponsoring a once a month Youth/Children Luncheon on the second (or third) Sunday of the month.  The first luncheon will be on December 11.  The Youth/Children are encouraged to participate in the Christmas caroling that day also following the luncheon.  We need volunteers to sponsor a monthly meal.  You may want to team up with others in your Sunday School class to help in this ministry event.  Sign-up sheets will be available.

We begin December 18 with the Christmas Brunch.  Bring in your favorite brunch dish and we will celebrate the joy of the season with food and fellowship.  Brunch is at 9:30 a.m.

The Christmas Choir sings the cantata “Emmanuel Has Come” during the Morning Worship of December 18.  The name “Emmanuel” accents the fact that God has come to us; God is with us.  That is the meaning of Emmanuel.  The Christmas Cantata service begins at 10:45 a.m.

The annual Christmas Eve Communion service celebrates the completion of Advent.  The Christ Candle is lit.  God comes to us in the manger baby of Bethlehem. We celebrate that significant event but also remember the conclusion of Jesus’ earthly life with His crucifixion for the sins of humanity.  On Christmas Eve we celebrate and commemorate both his coming and his going.  God comes to us via the manger of Bethlehem.  God makes a way for our salvation via the Cross of Calvary.  On Christmas Eve, we come to the Table to receive the emblems of the body and the blood of our Lord Jesus Christ. The Communion service begins at 6:00 p.m.

Christmas Day Worship occurs on Sunday this year.  We gather to sing carols and revel in the truth that God has come to earth.  God has become one with us.  Our Christmas Day activities begin at 10:45 a.m.

Jean Knue, Howard Trump and Darrel Leroy are mainstays in putting together our monthly birthday parties.

We celebrated Sarah’s 90th Birthday following our worship on November 6.

Some of Sarah’s beautiful family joined the celebration. Click on the pictures.
