TODAY AT 5:00—Hope service. This quiet, deeply meaningful time of Advent worship in our sanctuary is intended to remind us of the powerful hope we have in Jesus Christ, even in the midst of losses we may have experienced this year or in other recent years. God is our hope! Please be here for this wonderful worship experience.
BE SURE TO PICK UP YOUR CARDS IN THE HOLIDAY MAILBOXES IN THE FOYER.
NEW YEAR CELEBRATION AT THE RETREAT: Sunday, January 11, 5:00. Greenbrier River Retreat in Fort Spring. Mark your calendar. This is going to be a fun time for our entire church family.
IS YOUR ALABASTER BOX FILLED YET? It really doesn’t take long to do it. Incredibly, it’s only a few weeks until February, one of the two months when we receive funds for this great missions offering, used for the purchase of property and the construction of buildings on our many Nazarene mission fields throughout the world.
BE A PART OF A POWERFUL FEW MINUTES EACH WEEK! The short gathering we call “Ignition” takes place every Sunday morning at 10:25 in the prayer room. Believers join together as a united group to ask the Lord’s blessing and empowerment on our worship service and on our pastor as He brings us God’s message. Everyone is urged to come and help us lift these vital needs to the Lord. Be with us!
MEN’S BREAKFAST FELLOWSHIP—END OF NEXT WEEK. On Saturday, January 3, we will have our first men’s breakfast fellowship of 2026. Meet in the fellowship hall for a great time of informal eating and chatting. Guests are always welcome!
PLAN TO BE WITH US SUNDAY, JANUARY 4, AT 5:00—as we take down and put away our many Christmas decorations for another year. Everyone’s help is needed, so please mark your calendar. It won’t take as long as the decorating did!
A CARD OF THANKS from the Wright family has been placed on the bulletin board outside the church office.
YEAR-END GIVING—Only one week remains to catch up with your giving, if needed, for 2025. Thank you for your faithful stewardship.
