We are Now Back In The Yellow Level of the NB COVID-19 Recovery Plan. SO..........

Join us this Sunday @ 10:00 IN-PERSON

Pre-registration is not required

Invite someone to join you in-person this Sunday!

BIG+ is our new exciting kid's ministry for Infants - Grade 5. It all begins in the Multi-Media Room and Nursery at 10 AM sharp. Your kids will have a blast.
We are once again asking our church family to help us strengthen our online ministry by helping us update our sound and media equipment. Our special Thanksgiving Offering enabled us to purchase the first phase of upgrades with the purchase of broadcast software and some lighting equipment needed to enhance our online ministry. We are now ready to begin the second phase of purchasing and installing new overhead lighting and two digital remote-controlled cameras.

Would you prayerfully consider making a financial donation this Christmas? Your gift, no matter how small or large it may be, will greatly help us meet our goal of $10, 000.  Your donation can be given any time before the end of December. Please designate your donation as “My Christmas Offering” online or by envelope.  Thank you for your generous and sacrificial gift. 

If you have not received a Christmas Letter in your email inbox, they are available for pick up in the church lobby or you can find it on our church website and Facebook page.
Due to COVID-19 restrictions and to give our volunteers a break, our Christmas Eve Service and our December 27th service will be online only for this year.

We encourage you to gather with your family bubble to attend these two services online. Begin to think about who you could invite to your home to take part in this online experience.

Christmas Eve will be posted online at 4 PM & 6 PM via Facebook & YouTube. The service on the 27th will be available online at 10 AM. Both services will be available to watch anytime once it has been posted online.

Here are the links to Facebook and YouTube.
There will be no WMS in December. Also, the executive have decided not to meet until at least March, 2021. 
 
Please pray during this time that we will be able to meet in March. Please consider contributing a monthly offering toward missions. You can put your money in an envelope and mark it for WMS. You can put it in the offering box in the sanctuary.

Carol Murdock is considering being our president for 2021; please keep Carol in your prayers as she seeks God’s leading.

Thank you all for your support during that last couple of years.

Yours in Christ
