New sermon series begins Sunday, focused on the Christmas story

Sermon Title: Jesus is the King of Kings

Scripture: Matthew 2:1-12

The names of Jesus are significant and bountiful. Some sources cite 198 names and titles of Jesus in the Bible. Over the next few weeks, we will journey through the four Gospels and highlight specific titles connected with His birth. On deck this Sunday, Jesus is called the King. The Magi show up at Herod's doorstep and ask in Mathew 2:2, "Where is the one who has been born king of the Jews? We saw his star when it rose and have come to worship him.” For sure, Jesus is King; He is the King of Kings. On Sunday, we will look at what we should do knowing that Jesus is the King. Can't wait to see you here; don't forget to bring a friend.

Saturday’s Lilburn Christmas Parade will follow a new route

MC3 parade participants will stage at Lilburn City Park

We still need volunteers to ride on our Nativity float and walk beside it to pass out candy at Saturday’s Lilburn Christmas Parade.

All MC3 volunteers need to be in place by 8:30 a.m. to park their vehicles at Lilburn City Park. (The park will be closed to cars at 8:30 a.m.) If you park elsewhere, please be at our parade staging spot in the park by 9 a.m.

MC3 will be No. 30 in the parade route. When you enter the Lilburn City Park parking lot, you will see numbered orange cones in the parking spaces. Look for No. 30.

The parade starts at 10 a.m. We will have transportation back to the park parking lot once we finish marching.

If you have questions, contact Jim Barber by email or at 404-268-6981.

Also: Please return washed costumes to the church by Wednesday evening.
