KRIST KINDLING 2019
** The Krist Kindling “Reveal” dinner will be Sunday, January 12, 2020 at 6:00 PM in the parish hall. Bring your place setting and a dish to share as we gather to find out who Krist Kindled who and hear some pretty hilarious stories! All are welcome!
Nothing will jumpstart your Christmas spirit more than our annual Krist Kindling Advent activity! Please join us for our 26th annual Krist Kindling tradition at St. Edward’s!
What is Krist Kindle? It’s a fun activity where on family gives another family a gift anonymously during each of the three weeks prior to Christmas. The family you are giving gifts to is not the same family that is bringing gifts to you. You don’t have to have kids to participate. It’s for the young and the young at heart!
How it works: You deliver your gift surreptitiously any evening during the week by sneaking up to the front door, ringing the bell, and running away. It is best to deliver during the evening because the recipient will more likely be there to receive it. Also, you’ll need the cover of darkness to make your getaway unseen. All during Advent, remember this family (or single person or couple) in prayer and rest assured that someone else is praying for you.
These are the weeks: December 1-7, December 8-14, and December 15-21.
The gifts should not be expensive or burdensome. Some gift ideas are: homemade cookies; a basket or jar filled with chocolate kisses; a Christmas book, decoration, or ornament…
In January, we have a potluck supper at church to find out who our Krist Kindle families were. We enjoy having a meal together and, after, sharing our stories — there are always some funny delivery experiences to share!
Sign up today. Click here for form or look in the narthex. or call Meredith Westgate at 898-9245 if you have any questions.

SUNDAY FELLOWSHIP COFFEE HOUR
The Coffee Hour is a great fellowship event after each Sunday service where people gather to share a light breakfast treat and each others company. Share a story with a fellow parishioner, welcome a new member or have a cup of coffee before Christian Formation classes. The Coffee Hour is a very important part of the St. Edward’s community. The Coffee Hour Ministry is always looking for host volunteers and donations.
ADULT FELLOWSHIP
Many factors are involved in a particular church and congregation becoming an important part of a person’s life. We believe that one of these factors is the opportunity to be in small-group activities with others. The Mission of Adult Fellowship is to provide and arrange for outings, meals, trips, and gatherings for education, fun, and food! We sincerely hope that each time people at St. Edward’s enjoy each others company, learn something, or share a meal, it reinforces their feeling that St. Edward’s is their church “home.” We welcome adults to inquire about our Adult Fellowship group!
