"
Healing Broken Relationships"
Healing a broken relationship can be tough. We are called as Christians to reconcile with one another, but how can we do that when some relationships feel beyond repair? In this study, we'll explore ways to heal broken relationships. Some relationships can be mended and people reunited, while others might never be rejoined. How can we seek healing from the broken relationship in our lives? Join us for great discussion and an encouraging study led by Katherine Richards.

Lessons and Carols Service December 2
Sunday, December 2 at 8:30 am and 10:30 am
A joyous service of Word and music!
In our Lessons & Carols services, led by the Peace Choir and Orchestra, we will hear alternating Scripture readings and music. Our readings will begin with the Old Testament prophecies concerning the coming Messiah. These prophetic passages were written centuries before Jesus was born. Then we'll hear the powerful Christmas story, the beautiful account from the Book of Luke. Throughout, the choir and orchestra will present a wide range of music, from powerful anthems of celebration to poignant reminders of our need for this Babe of Bethlehem. And, of course, we'll sing many of our favorite carols together.
Come and join us for this special time of worship!
