While the turkey’s in the oven, join us for a brief time of praise on Thanksgiving Day. The Thanksgiving Celebration will be specifically focused on giving thanks to God for the many ways he has blessed us in the past year. We’ll be singing songs of thanks, lifting up prayers of thanks and hear a short message. During the offering, everyone will be asked to write down something they’re thankful for, and then we’ll present our cards of thanks to God during the service.

The church is widely involved in diaconal and charitable efforts throughout our city. Out of respect for the privacy of those that we serve, though, many of these activities are not widely publicized.

If you have a specific question or concern, feel free to ask a deacon or come to one of the church’s deacon meetings. Portions of the meetings are confidential, but there is always a time for people to talk and pray with our deacons.

Join us on Christmas Day for a special celebration of our savior’s birth. After waiting for four weeks during Advent, we will celebrate his arrival on Christmas morning. There will be a time of singing, during which you can request your favorite Christmas hymn or praise song, along with testimonies of what God has done in the past year and fellowship.

This will be a fun, relaxed celebration. There’s no need to dress up, and the church will have pastries, bagels, coffee, tea and hot cocoa for those who need breakfast or brunch. Come as you are, as long as you’re ready to praise God and have a good time. Childcare will be available for children under five.
