News & Announcements for Sunday, December 8, 2024

JOIN US FOR SUNDAY SCHOOL

If you’re looking for an opportunity to grow as a disciple of Jesus Christ, we encourage you to join us Sunday mornings for a intergenerational Sunday school class, from 9:00-10:00.  We look forward to seeing you!

BIRTHDAY PARTY FOR JESUS – NEXT SUNDAY

Join us after worship on Sunday, December 15 as we celebrate Jesus’ birthday!  In all the celebrations of the Christmas season, it’s sometimes easy to forget that it is also the day Jesus was born.  We’ll have birthday cake, treats, and more to help us remember that Christmas is about the miracle of the incarnation… and the day of Jesus’ birth!

CHRISTMAS CAROLING – SUNDAY, DECEMBER 22, 4:00 PM

Join us for our annual tradition of caroling to our homebound members. We’ll meet at the church and carpool together as we enjoy fellowship and make a joyful noise singing our favorite Christmas tunes.  This is a great opportunity for folks of all ages to come together as we spread some Christmas cheer!

CHRISTMAS EVE CANDELIGHT SERVICE – DEC. 24, 7:00 PM

On Christmas Eve, we invite you to join us for a family-friendly candlelight service celebrating the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ. This service of song, carol and Scripture provides a wonderful opportunity to get a sense of how eager the Hebrews were for the coming of the Messiah so long ago and reminds us how eager we are for his return. We look forward to seeing you there!
