Fellowship
It was a joy to recognize Nancy Moody, Margaret Roberts, and Lucy Battle in worship on Sunday for their love and dedication to Wednesday Night Live. In addition to planting a tree on our campus in their honor and another thank you gift to come, we are inviting the congregation to also show your love and appreciation of Nancy, Margaret, and Lucy by making a donation to support the ongoing life of Wednesday Night Live. You may give in all the usual ways by selecting WNL Honorarium through our online giving portal or indicating this on your check. Thank you to all who choose to share your appreciation for these special women in this way, and one more thank you to Nancy, Margaret, and Lucy, for responding to God’s grace through Wednesday Night Live all these years.

Primetimers Christmas Potluck Dinner

In case you haven’t heard about Primetimers, we are gently seasoned perhaps in age, but still looking for fun, enlightenment, and new friends. When COVID isn’t hanging around, we like to explore restaurants, events, and trips together. Our bus is employed to cart us to more remote locations and it is always a good time. When the CDC guidelines tell us we need to simmer down, we find interesting things to do via Zoom. In the past we have toured the Governor’s Mansion; enjoyed the fall color tour on Natchez Trace; toured an automotive facility; and more, plus eaten at a lot of restaurants. 

We're having our Primetimers Christmas Potluck dinner at the church at 6 PM, Friday, December 17th and would love to see you there. If you are interested in attending, sign up HERE.
Worship
Service of Light, Sunday, December 19, 5:30 PM

For so many of us during the holidays, the magnitude of our weary world weighs on our hearts and minds. Join us for our Service of Light where we will remind each other that we are people of the light. Christ is our Light in the darkness, and we will offer our prayers for those who need to experience God’s healing and wholeness. There will not be nursery available at this service.
Worship Flowers

It is time to sign up for 2022 flowers! You may sign up to dedicate flowers each Sunday in 2022 HERE.
