ADVENT BOOK STUDY - This Advent, our sermon series will be accompanied by a study in several of our church small groups covering Rachel Bill’s book An Unlikely Advent: Extraordinary People of the Christmas Story. Books are available to purchase for $10/each at the Welcome Desk located between the Worship Center and Sanctuary, with an ebook option also available online. Journey with us through the telling of the Christmas story as we prepare for the birth of our Savior, seeking the unlikely in the story of Jesus and in our stories too.

STUDENTS

Wednesday, November 15

Everything Everywhere, Week 1:

We talked with the students about "When you're carrying a lot, remember that God cares a lot."

We helped students recognize stress in their life and encouraged them to allow God to carry that weight for them.

1 Peter 5:7

Sometimes he uses other people to help us when we're stressed.

John 19:25-27

Proverbs29:25
