The church building is open for Advent! Make plans to come through our self-guided “Advent Worship Experience.” Saturdays during Advent, 4:00 - 6:00 p.m.. Come alone or with family and friends. 

The atmosphere is peaceful, quiet and friendly. The lights and candles are on, soft music fills the air. Each station has instructions on how to interact so as to not leave you guessing. Come explore and chill in an atmosphere that makes it easy! 

There is something for everyone, for example, you can take communion and journal on the soft rug up front; create an ornament and put it on the HCT family tree; sit in stillness; reflect on the Advent slide presentation; add your mark to the community painting, and more! 

Everything is provided for you. Come anytime between 4-6 and plan to spend about 30 minutes enjoying your church space for Advent! 

(the food pantry is open when you come, take what you need and donate what you don’t)

Download the new HCT Church App
This is a fun project that I’m grateful to give to you for the holidays.
It’s a neat way to stay connected to the church with content, services, meditations, combined social news feed, prayer wall, event links, and more!
Hope you love it! https://tithely.app.link/house-church-tulsa

Advent Devotional
Even though we descend into shorter days and longer nights during a pandemic, the rituals we create and keep in our homes can be so comforting. Take a look, there’s one geared more toward adults, and one more toward families. They are both free to you to print or read digitally: HCT Advent Devotional Guide

Covid Relief & Resources 
The church has been able to assist quite a few folks this year because of your giving, and right now the requests are piling up! While we can’t save the world, we can sure try to give as much support, prayer, money, resources and love as we possibly can! 

The HCT Covid Fund is dry, and we need to replenish so that we don’t turn anyone away empty handed. We have families that we all know and love who need us right now in this season. Would you give today? 

Another resource for those helping friends and family in the Eastern Oklahoma area, here is a great place to start: https://csctulsa.org/211eok/ or call 2-1-1 from any phone to start the process.
