Message From Pastor Bob Huisman

This Week:
Sunday
9:30 – We gather to worship our great God in the season of Advent in preparation for the celebration of Jesus’ birth.  Our Advent theme this week is LOVE.  God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.  We will open God’s Word to Luke 2 and learn from Mary, the mother of Jesus.  Some of our high school students along with some friends will join our worship team and lead us in song and a mini TSO prelude.  Come early – you won’t want to miss it.

5:00, 5:30, 6:00 – Our Live Nativity brings the Christmas story to life with actors and animals outside and hot chocolate and donuts inside.  This is a perfect event to invite the children of friends, family, and co-workers to join us.  Look for newcomers to welcome and enfold into God’s loving family at Heritage!

Sunday Worship at 9:30
Discernment Listening Cards due at noon in the church office.
Live Nativity at 5:00, 5:30 and 6:00
