Announcements

  • Request songs for hymn sing: What’s your favorite hymn? Write down your requests, one per sheet (hymn number and name from the hymnal), and put your suggestion(s) in the green box on the old communion table in the narthex. We will draw randomly and sing hymns from this box during the next pre-service hymn sing. Questions? Contact us today!


  • Keep requesting songs and come and sing with Praise singers: During worship most Sunday mornings, the congregation will sing at least one worship song, led by the Praise Singers. This group rehearses on Wednesday evenings, 6:30–7:15 p.m. (before Sanctuary Choir). We would love to have a few more voices sing with us and help lead the singing of praise and worship songs that may or may not be familiar to the congregation. Teens through adults of all ages and musical abilities are welcome to come any Wednesday night to rehearse songs to lead God’s people in worship. No auditions! Simply a love to sing and worship God is all that you need. Keep requesting songs and come and sing with Praise singers

Follow a Star? Travel 1000 miles by camel? Bow down and worship a child and give him very expensive gifts.


Risk my life?


I pray our answers are "yes" for we are still asked to follow that star!


Mark your calendar for Friday evening, Dec. 6th 5-7 pm. There will be a simple meal. Parents will be helping their children build gingerbread nativities, but everyone can fellowship and start the Advent Season focused on the true meaning of Christmas!
