UPCOMING EVENTS 

​​​​​​​​​​

YOUTH CHRISTMAS TREE, ROPING, & WREATH SALE
December 6 (9 AM-4 PM) & December 7 (11 AM-2 PM)

Support our youth, December 6-7 for our annual Christmas tree, roping and wreath sale! Hours are Saturday, Dec. 6: 9am-4pm and Sunday, Dec. 7: 11am-2pm. If you would like to support us, but not in need of a Christmas tree, you can donate money to help a family in need of a tree. We typically have families that stop by that are not able to afford a tree. Your generosity helps provide for those who are having financial difficulties this holiday season. All proceeds from the sale go to support future youth service trips to help our neighbors in need. The weather looks clear and cold for the weekend – so come out and support our youth!

“BLUE CHRISTMAS” SERVICE
Sunday, December 7 at 3 PM​

While the holiday season is meant as a time for celebration, for some this season feels devoid of joy. Some feel blue because they have lost loved ones this year. It could be painful memories or a prolonged illness or dire diagnosis. It could be an unhappy marriage or unemployment. Whatever the cause, if you feel this way, you are not alone. Our “Blue Christmas” Service will include prayers, scripture, and music to remind us that God is ever near. We will remember that, “The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it” (John 1:5). Invite your friends. This service of hope is for people of any faith or no faith at all.

We encourage all craft lovers to join us for the fun!

Mark your calendars for a Christmas Eve to remember. It all starts with the annual 5 PM Christmas Pageant and Family Service. The children and youth will dress as sheep, shepherds, angels, the 3 wise guys, and more bringing to life the miraculous events surrounding the birth of Jesus.

The 8 PM Candlelight Service will include traditional Christmas carols.
