SUMMARY:Blessing of the Toys at St. Andrew
DESCRIPTION:The season concludes on December 28 with Blessing of the Toys \
 , from 10 - 11 a.m. in the Sanctuary—a joyful\, pajama-friendly family ser
 vice where children are invited to bring their favorite new toy for a spec
 ial blessing. Hot cocoa and coffee will be served in the Narthex. On that
  day\, there will only be one service. \n“The Advent season is a time fill
 ed with anticipation as we await the fulfillment of a long-standing promis
 e embodied in Jesus\,” said Rev. Arthur Jones\, senior pastor\, St. Andrew
 . “Throughout the whole Bible\, God is consistently making a relational pr
 omise: He will be with His people. Even when they are unfaithful\, God’s f
 aithfulness endures\, so much so that He came to Earth Himself. In Jesus—w
 ho is both fully God and fully human—we meet the ultimate answer to this p
 romise. This is the miraculous demonstration of unwavering love reflected
  in the Advent season.” \nFor full details\, visit standrewmethodist.org/C
