Merry Christmas & Happy New Year

This is an exciting, busy, and important time of the year. It is a time to spend with family and friends in a quality way. I encourage you to rediscover those whom you love and those who love you. Also, add some new friends and acquaintances during this season.

• This Sunday evening, join us at 6:30 for a  Happy Birthday, Jesus! celebration. Bring finger foods, sandwiches, chips & dip, etc. We will provide the cake and drinks. Also, be prepared to tell us what you would say if you could visit with Jesus personally this Christmas season! 
• No Wednesday evening service on December 29. Spend the whole week with your family. Make it special, and we will see you again on Sunday, January 2nd for Sunday School and morning and evening worship.

Events in October

• October 10 - Communion Sunday in the AM service
• Beginning October 13, on Wednesday evenings, we will be looking at the Gifts of the Spirit/Fruit of the Spirit and the relation of 1 Corinthians 12, 13 and 14. Lots to see, lots to learn. Join us!

Not many people will be scholars when it comes to the Word of God. But all people can be students of the Word. I encourage all of you to be students. Paul tells Timothy to "study to show yourself approved unto God." And Peter tells us to "be ready always to give an answer to anyone who asks us concerning the hope that we have." If we don't know, if we can't articulate, then we lose opportunities. There is a thrill in opportunities that is not experienced any other way. We take the opportunity, and we trust God to fill our mouths when we open them wide for him. He won't let us down, and I know you won't let him down either.
