During today's service our Discoveryland kids performed for us. Thanks goes out to all of our faithful children's workers whose hearts are to teach our kids to know Jesus. We appreciate your willingness to serve!

After our morning service we had the Holiday Potluck, followed by some exciting game playing, which included the annual "White Elephant" gift exchange! MAN! there were at least 1 or 2 very nice things given away, and the rest of those gifts just might make their way back here again next year.

Join us on Christmas Day for a wonderful Sunday service.

"Joy to the World, the Lord is Come!"
Christmas is a season when we focus on a number of deep-seated emotions: Peace, Hope, and Joy being just a few.
For the next 4 Sundays we hope to identify the reasons for joy when circumstances around us may be pushing against it.

Consider what gives you joy as we explore "Joy to the World" today.

"Good or Bad Influence?"
Who influences you to believe what you believe?
Who has influenced your attitude about religion, the church, about God? People can sour you or sweeten you. They can turn you toward God or against Him and often without us even realizing it. Jesus calls it the yeast of the Pharisees and its power is as real today as it was in Jesus' day.
