NEW HELPFUL RESOURCE

Available at the Welcome Desk this Sunday
Fear and anxiety can paralyze Christians, damage relationships, and hamper service for God. With step-by-step instructions and Scripture meditation, Rand Hummel offers freedom for those controlled or hindered by fear. Rand's Scripture meditation series and his book The Dark Side of the Internet have grown out of his experiences counseling men and women crippled by lust, anger, and fear.
As a church family, we would like to express our love and appreciation to our pastors and their families by collecting a love-offering for Christmas. If you would like to contribute, please use the envelopes designated “Christmas for Pastors” located at the Welcome Desk and in the pews. Click here to give online. We will collect these love gifts through Sunday, December 17th.
A Christmas poinsettia is a beautiful to honor or remember a loved one during the Christmas season! These poinsettias will be used to decorate the platform through the Christmas Day morning service.
The name of your loved one will be published on an insert in the Christmas Sunday morning worship guide.
Each poinsettia costs $15. Fill out a form (found at the Welcome Desk), attach the payment (check or cash) & place them in the box for poinsettias located at the Welcome Desk. Orders are due this Sunday.
