Join us Sunday at 8 (classic service), 9:30 and 11 am, as Pastor Joe Mueller begins our new sermon series, Christmas Stories. There are a lot of beloved stories associated with Christmas...stories like A Christmas Carol, It's a Wonderful Life, and Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer to name a few. But some of the most important Christmas stories are found in the first few chapters of the Gospels. Stories of how ordinary (and even strange) people had the opportunity to encounter "God with us." In this series, we will take a look at some of those stories, and we'll see that they teach us that each of us has a Christmas story as well. Each of us can have our own encounter with God, "in the flesh."

Thank you to everyone who has given to help the church meet its Principal & Interest obligation for January 2016. All sacrificial donations, regardless of amount, brings us closer to our goal. All money given above your regular tithes and offerings will be used for the sole purpose of making the Principal & Interest payment. We ask you to be in continuous prayer that God will provide for our financial needs and give us guidance as we navigate our current situation.
