CHRISTMAS, CANDLELIGHT, & COMMUNION
Tonight  the Church will gather in the Sanctuary at 6:00pm for a “Christmas Candlelight & Communion Service.” Join us as we partake of communion, hear the Christmas story, sing carols, enjoy the music of Christmas, and light the candles. This event is for the entire family, so plan to attend and bring your friends.

2015 OFFERING ENVELOPES
Offering envelope boxes are available to begin using in January 2015. In order to receive a giving record from the Church, you must write your name and list the amount you are giving on each envelope that you use. Call the church office if you have any questions. Thanks.

CHURCH-WIDE CHRISTMAS DINNER
Plan to attend our Christmas Dinner on Sunday, December 21st at 6:00 pm. as
we celebrate the reason for the season!  Please bring food ( meats, veggies, desserts, drinks, etc.) for your family plus some extra for our guests.

CHRISTMAS SCHEDULE
With holidays falling on Wednesday’s the Deacons felt we need to cancel Wednesday night services on December 24th and 31st.  This gives families time to spend together.

Only God’s Word ends with the
untimate “happily ever after” – but with God
it’s not just the end of the story.     Copied

And this is the testimony: that God has given
us eternal life, and this is in His Son.
1 John 5:11
