ADVENT WEEK 4
"OVERWHELMING JOY"
LUKE 1:39-45 | DR. JIM EVERETTE
God’s great news of Christmas welcomes the faithful into God’s movement into the margins of life. How many of us want to have our stories connected with the larger stories of God? What if we get the opportunity every day, or several times a day, to be a part of God’s kingdom coming to earth?
We worship together united by the Spirit of God present with each of us.
RESPOND THROUGH REFLECTION
Looking back, how has God used your life in His great story of love?
RESPOND THROUGH GIVING
Trusting in God with all we have, we give to support the work of God's church because we believe in our mission to share God's love with our community and world in the name of Jesus. Give online or by mail. Giving allows us to keep being the church, even in the absence of our physical presence. Mail to: 411 Market Street, Wilmington, NC 28401. How To Give Online
RESPOND THROUGH CONNECTING
Do you have questions about being in a relationship with God? We would love to talk with you and help you begin or deepen your faith journey.
RESPOND THROUGH PRAYER
As we joyfully await the glorious coming of the Christ, let us pray for the needs of the church, our community, and the world. 

God of joy and exultation, you strengthen what is weak; you enrich the poor and give hope to those who live in fear. Look upon our needs this day. Make us grateful for the good news of salvation and keep us faithful in your service until the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, who lives for ever and ever. Amen.
