This will be followed by the Grades 5-8 Christmas Concert on December 10 (7pm), and the Grades 1-4 (7pm) Christmas Concert on December 17. All are welcome!
Blue Christmas Service
Sometimes, the holiday season doesn’t feel holly and jolly. There are many reasons why someone might be having a blue Christmas. Maybe it’s the loss of a loved one, whether recent or years ago, the loss of a job, a struggling family situation, or simply feeling like you can’t have joy this year. Join us for our Blue Christmas service on Wednesday, December 3 at 7pm. This will be a service of remembrance and hope, as we are strengthened and encouraged by God’s Word and fellow believers. After the service, we will have light refreshments, an opportunity to come to the communion rail to be anointed with oil and prayed over, and our Stephen ministers, will be around to listen and to pray.
Angel Tree
It’s that time of year again and we want to provide a wonderful Christmas for children in need. The Angel tree will go up next week at which time you can select a tag. Please bring the unwrapped gift back to the church by December 10th. Please contact the church office with questions at 517-882-8665.
