COVID UPDATES

We have learned of another person testing positive for COVID, that was present at church this past Sunday. Although asymptomatic, their routine test came back positive on Monday. This person was serving in the children’s ministry on Sunday and has notified all individuals with whom they were in close contact at church on Sunday. They are now quarantining at home.

This Sunday, we will be holding in-person services at 8:45 and 10:45 with Livestream at the 10:45 service. We will not be holding children’s classes this Sunday during the 10:45 service.

END OF YEAR GIVING

We ask that any year end gifts to the church be submitted to the office by Sunday, December 27th in order to be recorded on this year’s giving statement.

Take time this day to reflect on the first coming of Jesus Christ and His love for us.

We encourage you to take a moment and reflect on this Christmas worship song.
