Jesus is the reason for Christmas. Thanks to Lois Lorts for gifting Spirit of Hope the nativity scene in the sanctuary. It is beautiful.

Yay! We have a Transition Team. They will begin work with our consultant Pastor Dominic Palacio in January. They will be trained to lead the small groups as part of our self-study. We are in great hands!
