Evening Service:  Sunday evening service begins again starting at 6 PM.

 

Food Pantry:  Please donate to the Food Pantry for the Holidays!  There are so many people who are in need and it would be a good way to show Christ’s love around Christmas time.  Support our community by picking up a bag in either of the lobbies on your way out.  There is a list of suggested foods you can fill your bags with.  When you bring your donated food, put your filled bags in the fellowship hall in a bin for the food bank.

 

New Sunday School Classes:  New Sunday School Classes begin on Dec. 1.  You can stop by the Welcome Center or church office for a handout.

 

Christmas Devotional Book:  We have a special gift for the Christmas season, waiting for you at the Welcome Center. Crossway has generously provided us a great devotional book and we’d like you to stop by and pick that up. The devotional starts on Dec. 1 and goes through Christmas morning. Each day is designed to point your heart to the coming of Christ and its power to change us in everyday life.  Get your copy soon!
