This Sunday we are selling Christmas trees in the Courtyard and we need youth and adults to help from 9:30 a.m. - 12:30 p.m. in the Courtyard and Magnolia Building.  Please contact
Emily to pick a shift! 


It's that time to start planning the Christmas party for middle school students. The party is 6-8 p.m. on Sunday, Dec. 14, so we need to get started! If you are willing to help please contact Emily.

Youth Praise Team, 4-5:15 p.m. Sunday
 Hope to see all of our praise band members at 4 p.m. If you are interested in joining the Youth Praise Team, contact Dave!
 



Middle and High School Merge, Sunday, 5:15-8 p.m.
The most often forgotten commandments are the first two. "You shall have no other gods before me" and "You shall not make for yourself an idol." They have nothing to do with ego, in fact, they have more to do with us. If our lives revolved around God, then all of the other commandments, such as stealing, lying, adultery, etc., wouldn't be an issue. So what would your life look like if you had no other gods but God? Dinner starts at 5:15 p.m. and programming at 6 p.m. Invite a friend and you both get a blue Merge tumbler. We look forward to seeing you this Sunday!

First Priority is a Christian Club that meets at almost all of our Tampa Bay schools. It is a Bible study where we talk about Scripture, pray for our schools, teachers and friends.
