Christmas Eve

 

Join us for a special night designed for the entire family

 

Christmas Eve, 5:00 and 7:00 p.m.

 

Children have an amazing capacity for wonder, imagination and creativity.  God values this immensely, Jesus said that joining the Kingdom of God required coming as a child.  Of course that's what Christmas is all about...the arrival of a child. There is a child in all of us. We pray that the child in you will experience fresh wonder as we experience a very special Christmas Eve service.  There will be singing, laughter, and interactive Bible teaching as we discover how Jesus lit up the night when he arrived.

Joy of Giving

Joy of Giving is an SPC annual event that seeks to bring the hope and love of Jesus through tangible gifts.  Visit the Welcome Center after service to pick up a name. We will also be collecting food for Liberty in Christ pantry, necessities that refugees need for World Relief and new and gently used blankets. Collection ingathering day is December 16 from 9  a.m. to Noon.

Adult Ministry Winter Studies

Iron Men: December Series

Saturdays, December 8, and 15 at 7 a.m.

As men, everyday, we are faced with many different desires and choices. The great author, C. S. Lewis once said, "Every morning my desires rush at me like a pack of wild animals." We often sense that we were created for something more yet never seem to attain it. No matter what we try, we're left grasping for more. What do we do with those desires... Indulge? Deny? Numb? And where is God in this?  Join us for this series as Jack Clark leads us in an honest look at this topic. Iron Men Info Here.
