While you are making gift giving lists and decorating your home, don’t forget to check out our church bookstore. The Kay Andrews bookstore is open from 10am to 2pm Tuesday through Friday and 8am-1pm Sunday and has so much more than books! I took a look around on Sunday and already have a few people on my list fitted with the perfect gift!

If you’re looking for nativity sets, the bookstore has many to choose from. DSC01857

Now for books, of course the bookstore is full of them! I always loved waking up Christmas morning and having a new book under the tree. These children’s books are lovely and wonderful ways to talk about Advent and Christmas with younger ones.

Calendars are great gifts for the end of the year and the bookstore has plenty that work with the liturgical calendar or are daily meditations to work into your every day.
