Behind the earthly scenes, there is a greater spiritual enemy working to stop

the Messiah. Revelation 12 gives us a cosmic picture of the battle waged between the forces of good and evil. Satan, depicted as the dragon, sought to devour the Christ child even before His birth. For the first week in our Advent Series, we will explore how Satan has always opposed God’s redemptive plan, but we will also see how Christ's birth was the decisive moment in God's victory over darkness.

Reverend Bill Bouknight, Retired GMC Guest Pastor, will be preaching in the Auditorium for the Contemporary Worship services; Trevor Miller, Family Pastor, will be preaching in the Sanctuary for the Traditional Worship services.



For those worshiping remotely, you're invited to watch our services online, on Facebook and YouTube.



Christmas: From Family to Family

Our annual Christmas: From Family to Family gift collection is underway. This year, gifts are for specific children. Tags can be picked up in the East Building outside the Sanctuary doors or in the Missions Center. Tags will have a child’s gender, age, and an identified want and/or need, including helpful likes/dislikes. All the information you need, including when to bring back the gifts, can be found on the tables and at mthorebchurch.org/missions.

We can only accept new, unused items and please include the tag when you bring it back to us. We can’t wait to serve with you this Christmas as we spread the hope and joy of the Gospel from family to family!



Advent Offering

Christian communities around the world celebrate Advent as a season of remembering and celebrating the arrival of Jesus on Earth. At Mt. Horeb, we choose to celebrate by taking a special offering to advance the kingdom of God. This year, our Advent offering will support a local and global partner.

JUMPSTART, a prison ministry active in several states, serves men and women who have been incarcerated and offers services that provide job training, financial literacy, access to health care, counseling services, stable housing, and, above all, Christian discipleship. Restoration Village is a new transitional housing campus located in Spartanburg County. With our support, new homes will be built and opened to offer life transformation for more individuals.

Through our partnership with Dr. Jerry Kulah, lives in Liberia are being transformed in the name of Jesus. This year’s offering will allow us to build more homes for the most vulnerable, add toilets for sanitation and disease prevention to existing homes, improve both the school and medical clinic, and start businesses to help the people of Boway move towards self-sufficiency.

You can give toward the Advent offering beginning December 1 through the end of the year. Give here.

Christmas Musical

There will not be services in the Sanctuary as our worship teams are coming together to create a special experience to celebrate the Christmas season. You don’t want to miss this spectacular celebration. Nursery will be provided for children three years and under during the 5:00 PM, 9:00 AM and 10:45 AM services.
