Hello everyone,
This Sunday for our Christmas Celebration, I plan to bring the message, “A Child Is Born” from Luke 1:26-38. Our service will be filled with beautiful Christmas music (including several specials) and a practical message from the Word of God. Please read through the attached “Digging Deeper” Bible study notes before Sunday to get the most out of the message. Services will be at 8:30 & 10:30am this Sunday with our prayer time at 7:30am in Room 101.
Please Invite Your Family And Friends
Christmas and Resurrection Sunday are great times to invite people to church as the chance of them accepting that invitation increases greatly. Please be praying about whom you can invite, and then be brave enough to do it. J
