Mark your calendars for the Candlelight Service we will be hosting at 5:30 pm on Christmas Eve. At 5:00 pm we will be having a Preconcert held by our Pianist Mickie Clark and Music Director Eric Aldrich on the Organ. They will be playing classic Christmas Carols with a few other Christmas Songs.

Make sure to invite everyone you know! There are Invite Cards out on the Welcome Center Desk for you to take and pass along. We hope to Celebrate the Christmas Season with you this year.

There are pledge cards in the Welcome center in front of the TV showing the new design. If you would take one of the cards and prayerfully consider how much you and your family would give towards the project over the next few months. Fill out the card and put it in one of the white offering boxes in the Sanctuary before the 15th. This will help us better know where we are in the over all campaign.

We have a goal of raising $300,000 to complete the Sanctuary Remodel Project - bringing our sanctuary up to date, with new seating, lighting, paint, carpet, and an updated platform design. We have raised $84,154 towards our goal. Please prayerfully consider giving towards this project. If you would like to give to the campaign you can click on the image above and select the Building Fund in the options to give online. All funds given to the building fund will be specifically used for this project. Thank you for your support.

Last Day for 2024 Giving an offering will be Dec. 29th. Anything after Dec 29th will be considered for 2025. You may bring your offering to the Main Office or drop it in the White Boxes in the Sanctuary.

Our Lost & Found is starting to get a little crowded. If you have misplaced anything make sure to take a peak at our Lost & Found that is behind the doors on the Organ Side. If the items are not claimed by the First of the Year they will be donated.

If there are any questions please contact the Main Office during our business hours.

Come and Join us on Wednesday Nights at 6:30 pm. We would love to have you! Not only are we working on Sunday Morning's Worship, we have started to work on music for Christmas. So bring a friend or two and meet us in the Choir Room at 6:30 pm on Wednesday Night!

This year as a church our goal is to raise $5,000, we have raised a total of $3,845 so far. The envelopes can be located on top of the white offering boxes in the Sanctuary. Prayer Guides are also available out in the Welcome Center on the Welcome Center Desk.

In the month of December we will not have meals on Wednesday nights but we will still have all other activities.
