In this issue:
Christmas arrives in Luke’s Gospel through the unexpected: a Savior born not in a palace but in a manger, announced first to shepherds keeping watch in the fields. God meets the world in humility and surprise, reminding us that hope often appears where we least expect it. As we prepare our hearts this season, may we remain open to how the Lord continues to reveal Himself among us in our everyday lives! “You will find a child wrapped in bands of cloth and lying in a manger” (Luke 2:12).
Christmas and Holiday Schedule
Holiday Office Schedule || 12/23/2025 - 1/1/2026
Our church offices will be closed at noon on Wednesday, December 23rd through Thursday, January 1st. We'll be back in the office on Monday, January 4th. Throughout the week one of our pastors will be available should any pastoral care needs arise for you. Please reach out to let us know.
Men’s Ministry Workday || 1/10/2026
Brothers, here’s a chance to make a real and immediate impact for the kingdom—right here at home. Matt Watson and the Men’s Ministry Team are calling on all Christian men to step up, lean in, and work shoulder to shoulder as we care for our church building and the ministry it supports.
We have several projects that need to get done, and your hands, your strength, and your willingness matter. This is more than a workday—it’s an opportunity to serve, to lead by example, and to invest in the place where God is shaping lives every week.
Whether you’re handy with tools or just ready to help, your presence makes a difference. Let’s show up, stand together, and get the job done—faithfully, joyfully, and with purpose.
Mark your calendar for Saturday, January 10, and come be part of something that strengthens our church family in a tangible way. We’ll see you there, ready to build, serve, and make an impact!
