This Week:
Sunday, December 22
9:30 – “O holy night, the stars are brightly shining.” We can’t wait to celebrate with the Shepherds the birth of our Savior from the gospel of Luke, chapter 2. Our Advent theme is PEACE this week and you will want to arrive early in order to not miss any of the TSO (Transiberian Orchestra) prelude that will start at 9:25 AM. Shalom – “God’s highest and most complete good be upon you and all associated with you.”
5:00 – No Evening Worship
Tuesday, December 24 – Christmas Eve Candlelight at 11:00 PM. Invite a friend to join you as we follow the glory of God’s star with the Wisemen and enter into that “Silent Night” long, long ago.
A note about Sunday, December 29 at 5:00.
At our evening worship service, there will be an opportunity to light a candle in memory or in honor of a loved one. For example, you can simply say, “I light this candle in honor of my dad, Thomas Huisman.”
You are also welcome and encouraged to share a memory of how God has used this person to help shape and mold us into the people God wants us to be.
