Reflections- "The Lord is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth." -Psalm145:18

 

PASTOR 2 PERSON

 

This past Sunday we welcomed Dehli Kearney into our church family.  Dehli placed her membership with us.  

 

This Sunday our worship choir will help us celebrate the birth of Jesus with their Christmas Cantata.  I will continue our Christmas series, "The Gift That Keeps On Taking" as we look at how Jesus takes away our guilt.

 

This Sunday we will have our annual meeting following the morning worship service.  We will vote to approve Woody Sanders to a new three-year term as elder and to approve the 2026 General Fund budget.  The weekly budget need remains the same as this past year: $4,253.00 per week.  The money we had budgeted in the General Fund to help with our mortgage payment has been redistributed elsewhere in the budget in order to give increases to other budget items.  The majority of what was budgeted for the mortgage payment was redirected to building maintenance and repairs.

 

Voting in Sunday's meeting is open to members who have been members for at least one year, have attended a minimum of 12 worship services during the past year, and are at least 18 years of age.

 

This year's Christmas Eve service will be held in our historic original sanctuary.  The time of the service will be 3:00 p.m.  We've moved the time of the service up a couple of hours for a couple of reasons.  One is to be able to allow people to attend who either cannot or have trouble driving after dark.  Another reason is we realize that many families have family gatherings on Christmas Eve.  Hopefully, by holding our service at 3:00 p.m., you can attend and then make your way to your family Christmas Eve activities.

 

Merry CHRISTmas,

Dennis

 

Saturday- Hey guys!  Remember we do NOT meet this month for our Men's study.  We will meet again on January 3rd.  

 

Saturday- Christmas Caroling.  Meet at the church building at 10:00 a.m.  We will go out to eat at Golden Corral after caroling.

 

The Christmas Card mailbox will be up this Sunday.  You can use it to give Christmas cards to others in the church family.  There is a container where you can donate the postage money you would have spent mailing out cards.  The money donated will go to the Adult Sunday School mission project.  Make sure you also stop by to check the box for Christmas cards others give to you!

 

12 Days of Christmas food drive food donations for THRIVE Peninsula are due this Sunday.
