This December, we will have two remaining special worship services celebrating the Christmas season. Below is a description of each event.
|
|
Silent Lord's Supper
(Sunday, December 22 at 5 PM) is a meditative time to observe the Lord's Supper without spoken words or singing. The shorter service will be accompanied by instrumental music and will focus our hearts around Christ's sacrifice for us through specific scripture passages and prayers. Childcare is available for this service.
|
|
Christmas Eve
Candlelight Service
(Tuesday, December 24 at 5 PM) is an exciting time as we share in the joy of Christ's coming to earth. This family service for all ages will feature carol singing, the reading of the Christmas story for kids, and a mass candle lighting at the end of the service. We invite the entire family to worship together as no childcare will be available.

|
|
Poinsettia Sale
It's now time for the yearly poinsettia sale to decorate the Worship Center. Each plant is $15 and forms are now available in the church office or online. The deadline for orders is today. You may take them home from the worship center after the Chirstmas Eve service.
|
|
Lottie Moon Christmas Offering
It's that time of the year again for our annual Lottie Moon Christmas Offering for International Missions. Between now and the end of the year, every penny designated for the Lottie Moon offering will go directly to support our missionaries on the field through the International Mission Board of the Southern Baptist Convention. The Missions Partnership Council has set a goal of $25,000.00 for this year. As you prayerfully consider your involvement, we want to challenge you to give sacrificially above and beyond your normal tithes and offerings so the gospel can continue to reach every tribe and tongue.

Christmas Store
All needs have been met at this point. However, we need volunteers to come help at the Christmas Store on Thursday, December 12 at 4 PM in the Life Center Gym. If you have items to turn in, please take them to room 209 before Thursday.

Marriage 2020: Ebenezers, Snapshots and What’s Next?
Marriage 2020 is a two-day onsite retreat for couples with children at home designed to help you and your spouse intentionally focus on centering your marriage on Christ. This year, we will be led through these discussions by veteran couple, Greg and Barbara Williams, who will help you look at the past, examine where you are in your marriage and where you want to go. The retreat starts with dinner on Friday, February 28 at 5:30 pm and concludes at noon on Saturday, February 29. Breakfast is also provided on Saturday morning. Childcare is available with reservation. Please sign up by January 10.
