Thank You!!!
Thank you to all who contributed to this year's Connie Maxwell Children's Home Christmas gifts. Because of your generosity we exceeded our goal and will be able to provide gifts cards for all the children.

We have begun distributing bags for children, youth, and adults that are full of activities, devotions, and service projects which will help you prepare your hearts for the coming of Christ during the Advent season. In addition to picking up your bag(s) while at worship, you can stop by the office (Monday - Friday, 8AM-3PM).
If you would like a bag but will not be in worship and are unable to stop by the church office, CLICK HERE and we deliver your bag(s).

Christmas Videos Needed!
We have a special Christmas carol sing along in the works and we would love to include you and/or your family. Don't worry, you don't have to sing! All we need you to do is stand in front of your tree or other festive decorations, waving or holding up a Merry Christmas sign, etc… Be Creative! You video only needs to be 3 - 5 seconds. Please record with your phone flipped horizontally.
