This Week:
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. On your way out, make sure to pick up your star gift for the new year.
Sunday, December 29
9:30 – We gather to worship our great God on the last Sunday of 2019. All of us will gather in the sanctuary (the ARK will be dark). Pastor Kevin will help us look back on a year full of God’s presence and His grace.
5:00 – Pastor Bob Bolt will lead us in giving thanks to God for the gifts we have received from the people God has placed in our lives. 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. We will conclude our final worship service for the year with a celebration of the Lord’s Supper.
