New Women's Sunday School Class
It is always exciting when God lays on the hearts of His people a desire to help others grow spiritually. He has done that again, putting it on the hearts of a few of our women to start a new Sunday School class, dedicated solely to our women. This class will be starting on
Sunday, December 4. If you are interested in learning more or if you have any questions, please contact the church office.

Candelight Service - December 18
Please plan to join us Sunday, December 18th, in the sanctuary for a short, simple, and beautiful celebration for the whole family,
with scripture, carols, and candlelight. A perfect time to invite extended family and friends to come celebrate Christ's coming into the world.
"For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given..." (Isaiah 9:6)

Prayer Service & Christmas Dinner
Please plan to join us Sunday,
December 11, as we once again come together in prayer and fellowship.
Join us at
4:45 p.m. in the sanctuary for an hour of prayer, and then at

Join Us For Christmas Caroling
Our annual Christmas caroling outing is right around the corner. This event is a wonderful time of fellowship and celebration with one another, and it is an opportunity to be of joyful service to our community . God calls us to "make a joyful noise" and to "be of good cheer." So, plan to join us, Wednesday evening, December 14 at 6:30 pm (after our usual Wednesday night fellowship dinner) as we go out into our community to bring a little joy to the world around us by lifting our voices in praise to Him this Christmas season. We will meet at the church and leave from there. If you have any questions, please see Laura Smith.
