The Advent Experience: Waiting in Joy

I can't believe this was the last Sunday of Advent!  To finish our series "The Advent Experience" and our focus on waiting and preparing our hearts for Christmas, we had a Christmas party as we "waited in joy!"  We played the Christmas song picture game where you have to figure out the Christmas song based on a picture puzzle.  We listened to Christmas music and ate a bunch of delicious snacks (thanks to the many church members who provided treats for our party!).  We had a white elephant gift exchange with presents like candy, McDonald's gift cards, mugs, a blanket, homemade bread, binoculars, bottle tops for canned drinks, and even a ball that bounces itself!  We even split into four groups and played a game where each group had to wrap one of their members up like a present.  The team with the best wrapping job won!  Check back for pictures of a fun night at FUSION Gathering.  Merry Christmas!

Remember, we will NOT be meeting next week, December 26th.  See you all again when we resume our weekly Gathering meetings on January 2nd at 7pm.
