Advent All-Ages Bible Study
This Advent season, we’re diving into the story of Christ’s coming with something for everyone—adults, youth, and kids! Join us as we prepare our hearts, grow in faith, and celebrate the hope of Christmas together through learning, creativity, and community.
Adults: Dynamic Faith
Facilitated by Dr. Darryl “Husbae” Scriven
The strand running through the season of Advent is dynamic faith. In fact, dynamic faith is the only way we can truly receive what God has done for us through Christ. In this three-week series, we’ll explore how faith differs from mere belief and how dynamic faith comes alive in the stories of Mary (Luke 1:26–38), Joseph (Matthew 1:18–25), and the Wise Men (Matthew 2:1–12). Come ready for fun, interactive learning, and thought-provoking discussion—including some creative, theatrical storytelling along the way!
Youth: A Wandering Journey
Advent invites us to journey toward Bethlehem with intention. This series helps students shift from the season’s usual consumer distractions toward a deeper, more spiritual path. Each week centers on a meaningful theme, guiding youth into the story of the Incarnation. Together, we’ll practice waiting as preparation, connect through shared meals and stories, and discover how to live out God’s hope in everyday life.
Little Kids & Kids: Stories of Angels
Kids are invited to join us for a fun-filled Christmas celebration as we learn all about the angels from the Bible and the special messages they brought about Jesus’ birth! With hands-on crafts, games, and snacks, kids will experience the wonder of the Christmas story in a way they can understand. It’s a joyful time to make new friends and celebrate the true meaning of the Advent season together!
Christmas Eve Service
Celebrate the wonder of Christmas with us on December 24th! Join us for a night of worship, reflection, and joy as we remember the birth of Jesus Christ.
Traditional Services: 6:00 PM & 8:00 PM
Contemporary Service: 7:30 PM
Experience timeless carols, inspiring messages, and the warmth of our church family. Whether you prefer a traditional or contemporary style of worship, there’s a place for you to celebrate the true meaning of Christmas. Bring your friends and family and share in this special evening of hope, light, and joy!
4D Experience
You’re invited to be a part of the creative vision of what is happening here at Anona. Join us on January 10th as we dream, discern, design, and do! This will be an opportunity to dream for the upcoming year, discern what the Lord is leading us to, design what that looks like, and then put a plan of action in place to do the things!!

Candy Collection
Anona’s annual Trunk or Treat is right around the corner, and we’re so excited to welcome our community for an evening of fun, fellowship, and lots of sweet treats!
To make the night extra special for the kids, we’re asking for candy donations. If you’d like to help, please bring bags of individually wrapped candy and drop them off in the collection bins located lobby.
Every donation—big or small—helps us share joy with families in our community. Thank you for partnering with us to make Trunk or Treat a safe and memorable event for all!
Scary to Be Hungry
We have run a scary to be hungry campaign for the past several years in October one of the reasons we do this is October is a very low month at the food bank and they are still serving the same amount of folks and trying to gear up for the holiday rush where they will receive donations but also an uptick in their clients around the holidays. So October is a great month for us to collect those non perishable high protein items and restock the food bank before the holidays arrive. Please bring in your items all month long in October we will have ‘scary’ barrels in the church lobby and in the marketplace!

Socktember
September is becoming SOCKTEMBER here at Anona so we can remember to collect lots of NEW socks for needy students this Fall. Our partners at Clothes to Kids give each student five new pairs of socks (along with five new pairs of underwear and five sets of summer clothes to cover 5 school days of clean clothes). Often families do not have access to washers and dryers during the week so covering five school days is very important! All sizes K-12th grade are needed, no show socks are favorites, darker colors preferred for boys. Collection points in the Main Lobby (yes come visit!) Monetary donations to missions are also much appreciated!
Chick-Fil-A Night
Join us at Chick-Fil-A on August 4th from 5:30-7:00pm as we enjoy good food and company as a portion of the proceeds will go towards Residing Hope.
