I
wanted to quickly inform you about our holiday schedule.
On Christmas Sunday, we will be combining our services so we can worship
together at 11am. We will not have Sunday School, Nursery, or Children’s Worship. The 1st
service choir will sing along with the band from the 2nd service. We
are working really hard to make Christmas morning enjoyable for everyone. Please
come with the attitude that we are here to celebrate the birth of Jesus together.
Let’s remember the words of David, “I will not sacrifice to the Lord my God
burnt offerings that cost me nothing.” Since we are combining, everyone will
have to sacrifice a little of what they like. Honestly, it is a beautiful
opportunity for us to be the church as we sacrifice for one another and celebrate
the birth of our Lord Jesus.
During
our staff retreat, we discussed what do to on New Year’s Sunday. We feel led to
have a prayer service since it is the first day of the year. What better way to
start our year as a church than to have a service of prayer together. We feel
this is so important that we are combining both services on that Sunday as
well. The service will be at 11am. We will not have Sunday School or Children’s Worship. We will open the
Nursery. I hope you will be here this day as it will be an important day in the
life of our church.
In
Christ,
Mark
