Announcements
TTR End of Year Donation
At our Christmas Eve Service we will be taking a special offering for our faith based recovery community center, Transformation to Recovery. This ministry seeks to reach men and women who are in the darkness of addiction with the light of the love of Jesus. We are in need of significant support, please consider giving an end of the year gift to help us continue this vital work.
Christmas Eve Service
Our Christmas Eve Service will be held on Tuesday, December 24th at 4pm. This will be a family integrated service, so our children will remain with us the whole time as we hear our kid’s choir, sing Christmas Carols, and listen to a short sermon by Pastor Jeff called “Coming Home”. We are excited for this service and the opportunity it gives us to invite our neighbors.
Support Orphans for Christmas
We have the opportunity to help stock classrooms for an orphanage in Uganda. Please visiting the table in the lobby to select a gift tag for an item to donate.
Church Family Meeting
We are going to have a meeting and a church luncheon for all church members on January 12th immediately following the service to launch our vision for the New Year. While we ask that all members attend this meeting, we also want to open this meeting to non members to attend as well.
