As a church family, we would like to express our love and appreciation to Pastor Steve, Pastor Doug, Pastoral Intern Blake, 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. You may also give online, please select the fund "Christmas for Pastors". We will collect these love gifts through Sunday, December 21st.

Thank you!

CHRISTMAS PICTURES WITH MELISSA

Melissa Bower will take family & individual Christmas pictures in the South Foyer after the 10am service on Dec. 7th, 14th, & 21st. Photos will be taken free of charge, but a donations box will be available & any money received will go to New Beginnings Pregnancy Center.

A VERY MERRY EVENING!

December 5th at 6:30pm

All adults are invited to attend a Christmas party at Lifeway. Bring a white elephant gift for the gift exchange & a side or a dessert. The church will provide chicken. Please sign up here or at the Welcome Desk this Sunday.
Join us as we share the beautiful story of the Gospel with our community through our Living Nativity. This cherished event brings the manger scene to life and offers a warm, welcoming space for all who attend.

We’re looking for a few volunteers to dress as shepherds—this includes helping with the donkeys or sheep— and we also need three fire pits with friendly faces to tend them and connect with guests as they warm up by the fire.

Additionally, we need volunteers to help with setup on the day of the event. Setup will begin at 2:30pm.

If you’d like to be involved, please sign up at the Welcome Desk or speak with Pastor Doug.
