Upcoming Events
Advent
It’s time to be RENEWED, and experience real HOPE again!
You may be entering this Advent season weary from this year or the past few years. Maybe you or those around you are holding grief or loss in the aftermath of personal, national or international tragedies, as well as the global uncertainty of a lingering pandemic. Or you may be experiencing a range of emotions heading into this time of year — from anxiety and sadness to a sense of excitement or joy.
Regardless of where you are in your journey, Advent provides us all with an opportunity to re-examine the life of Christ, why He came and how He loves us. Unless we see and understand who He really is, the weariness of the world can easily overwhelm us, and we can become hopeless.
So prepare with us to celebrate Jesus’ birth on Christmas Day, having experienced who Jesus is through His Word. No matter what circumstances you’re facing this season, we pray that as we look to our Savior together, He will renew and restore your hope.
Family Christmas Party
Come join us for a Foursquare “Church Family Christmas” Open House at the church on Saturday December 10th, 2022 from 4:00pm-6:00pm!
The Open House is free for all of our church family. We will have refreshments, activities for children, family photos, caroling and much more!
Join us for a time of wonderful fellowship!
The Chosen – Season Three
Following our CHURCH FAMILY CHRISTMAS on December 10, we will be opening up the sanctuary to show the newly released first two episodes of The Chosen (season 3). The showing will begin at 6:00pm in the sanctuary and finish by 8:00pm.
The theme for Season 3 is…
“Come to me, all you who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest.” Matthew 11:28
This crowd-funded series, about the life of Jesus and his disciples, took the faith-based film industry by storm in 2017. According to the Chosen App, there have been more than 400 million views of the first two seasons.
While this is a FREE event for our church family, we will be accepting donations that can be given here at registration or at the door. All proceeds will go directly to The Chosen for production.
Bell-Ringing
Volunteer bell ringers are the difference between an empty kettle and one that raises the funds that sustain and help people in need all year long. We will be serving on December 17th. The Salvation Army relies on money raised in red kettles to serve more than 25 million people in need each year.
