Message From Pastor Bob Huisman

9:30 AM Sunday Morning Worship
Risky, Radical, Righteousness.  This Sunday, we focus on Matthew chapter 1 and Joseph, the earthly father of Jesus.  Joseph thinks and rethinks his plan because an angel visits him in a dream.  We will explore how Risky, Radical Righteousness brings Jesus into the world.

Congregational Meeting
Our annual congregational meeting will take place this Sunday, December 5 in the sanctuary.  We are planning on a 30-minute or less meeting from 11:00-11:30 to give thanks to God for his provision and to approve the 2022 budget.

5:00 PM Christmas Carols
Last year we gathered on the front lawn for Christmas Carols and hot chocolate.  We will plan on celebrating in song again this year on the front lawn in front of the cross and creche (weather permitting – our backup plan, if it is raining, is caroling in the fellowship room).  Caroling will be followed by a time of fellowship and refreshments indoors.

Thank You for your Gifts, Tithes, and Offerings
Thank you for your generosity to Christ’s Church.  We encourage you to prioritize your local church in your giving because the local church is the bride of Christ, and Jesus is the hope of the world.  We excel in the grace of giving when we honor God with our time, our treasures, and our talents.

Pastor Bob Huisman
Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience. Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.
And over all these virtues put on love, 
which binds them all together in perfect unity.  Colossians 3:12-14
