Dear Faith Family, I am excited about what Christmas is
bringing to our church in the next few weeks! The sermon series entitled “The
Cradle, The Cross, and the Crown” kicked off last Sunday morning and proves to be an
inspiring and challenging look into the life of Christ from birth to glorious return. The choir will
present the annual Christmas musical on December 15th and 16th, which will highlight in song the themes
we have covered during the Sunday morning sermon series. And, don’t forget to join us for our annual
“Candlelight Service” during the evening worship service on December 23 at 6:00 PM. It is going to be a wonderful time celebrating the gracious gift of God to the world in the birth of His Son, Jesus Christ. God has given His all in order to draw closer to you and me. The question looming is, “Will we set our hearts to seek Him and experience His presence this Christmas?” I hope and pray you will join me in pursuing Christ in a re-newed way and welcoming the reign of King Jesus in every area of our life. The glory of Christmas, which leads to the power of the Cross, can fill our hearts with expectation for His glorious return. Have a Merry Christmas! Love and Blessings, Pastor Jacob
100% of your Lottie Moon Christmas Offering goes to support
IMB missionaries around the world.
