JOY TO YOUR WORLD
A big “Thank You” to everyone who worked so hard to present the live nativity last Sunday night. There were lots of guests attending and many positive comments. We appreciate those who brought food items for the fellowship time. We are grateful to James and Monica Mew for their leadership in the event to present the beautiful story of Christmas.

CHRISTMAS CARD MAILBOX
The “Lottie Moon Mailbox” is available again this year.  If you plan to mail Christmas cards to those in the church family, put your cards in the “Lottie Moon Mailbox” and give the money that you would spend on postage to the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering. Deadline to use the box is today at the morning service.

CHURCH-WIDE CHRISTMAS DINNER
Plan to attend tonight at 6:00 pm as we celebrate the reason for the season! Please bring food (meats, veggies, desserts, etc.) and drinks (tea, soda, etc.) enough for your family plus a little extra for guests.

THANK YOU
The Church Staff wishes to thank the church family for the Christmas gifts and all of the expressions of love you have shown in this season that we remember the greatest gift of all, “Jesus.”

Matthew 1:18, “Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his  mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they were come together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost.”
