Is Jesus Coming Soon?
Man is always trying to predict the date Jesus is coming back.
What does the Bible say about Jesus’ return? Is it imminent?
Do we know the hour in which the Son of Man is to come, or
will He come as a thief in the night? Come as we study this
important topic.
This class is part of an ongoing study about premillennialism.
All is welcome to attend!
We meet at 6:30 p.m. every Thursday at:
The Florence church of Christ
1833 Tamarack Street
You can contact us at (541) 997-3133, or go online to

Yuletide, solstice Sunday
The Rev. Dr. Ruth Miller
will lead the Florence
Unitarian
Universalist
Fellowship’s worship service
on Sunday, Dec. 24, from 10
until 11 a.m. The title of her
message
is:
“Yuletide
Celebration.”
Miller says, “We’re used to
thinking of this day as
Christmas Eve, but its roots
are far more ancient. … This is
the last day of the Solstice,
meaning the ‘standing sun,’
and tonight the new Son of the
Sun is born, to rise tomorrow
with the dawn of a new year.”
Join us the congregation as
it celebrates with ancient and
modern traditions.
People are encouraged to
bring greens, to “deck the
halls.”
FUUF is located at 87738
Highway 101, at Heceta Beach
Road, and is wheelchair acces-
sible.
Each service concludes with
refreshments and a dialogue
circle to explore the questions
that come up during each serv-
ice.
