This Sunday we will have a Christmas-Themed Petting Zoo! This is the perfect opportunity to invite friends and family! You can feed the animals carrots, pet them, and take some great pictures. There will be a camel, a sheep, a lamb, and more. See you there!

We are having an interest meeting for parents and students on December 7 at 2:30 p.m. in the KSM room. It is strictly informational, and even if they aren’t sure about camp, they should come to the meeting. Camp will be July 13-17 this summer at Liberty University.

Come support Burke School in their annual Cocoa Dash! You can run, walk, skip, or crawl the 1 mile route and enjoy cocoa and cookies at the finish line! Raffle tickets will be for sale to win gift cards. Donations are accepted (givebacks, check and cash).

We need lots of cookies and waters for our Christmas Cookie Bar! If you are willing to bring 24 Christmas cookies (or any kind of cookies) or 24 waters, please sign up here.

In 2026, we will read through the entire Bible together as a church family! You’ll receive a simple reading plan and our Sunday messages will connect directly to what you’re reading each week. We’ll also offer helpful classes and online articles throughout the year to guide you along the way. Recommended preparatory reading: The Epic of Eden: A Christian Entry into the Old Testament

Get your Bible reading off on the right foot. On Sunday, December 28th, at 9:00 a.m., join us in the Murphy Room for a special kick-off class led by Bill Linney. He’ll walk us through the history and culture of the biblical world to help set the stage for our 2026 Bible reading plan - a great way to start strong!

To help you prepare for our 2026 Bible-reading journey, we’re posting a series of short articles that introduce major themes of Scripture. This week’s article looks at Genesis 1–11 and the foundational truths these chapters lay for the rest of the Bible. Read it now at knoll.org/articles.
