Directory Photos Today We’re printing a new directory in 2020 and want to make sure your information is correct. Check our draft directory in the back of the auditorium to see if we have everything right. And, we’re taking new photos for any who aren’t included or need updating.

Special Time Of Fellowship A special time of fellowship is planned for next Sunday. During the holidays we have many friends and family join us for worship and we would like to have a time to “chat”. That morning there will be a time for conversation, donuts, coffee, juice and hot chocolate bar from 9:30 – 10:15 am. Bible classes will not meet as we gather together. Let’s use this as an opportunity to invite family and friends.

Adult Sunday Morning Class Wes Hamm is teaching a Sunday morning class for all adults in the upstairs class-room. He began last week with a three week series called “Bible Study Toolbox” that focuses on several letters of the New Testament that will help us read our Bibles for all it’s worth. You don’t want to miss this short series on select Sundays in December.

Join Us For The Journey Everyone is invited to join us next Sunday for a special worship service centered around the birth of Jesus. We’ll sing some wonderful Christmas hymns and focus on the wise men who came to honor Je-sus. Join us for the journey!
