Baptism is a public declaration of one’s faith in Christ.  We will be having a baptismal service on December 10. If you desire to be baptized or need to know more about it, talk with Pastor Kevin.

We finished this year’s shoebox season with 355 boxes filled to share Jesus’ love with the children of the world.  Please continue in prayer for those who will receive them, that they will know Christ’s love and come to accept Him as Savior.  You can also be in prayer for Bethany Henry as she prepares to volunteer at the Dallas processing center on this Friday and Saturday, December 1 and 2.

If you are among the early birds who have already prepared your Christmas cards, a box is available for them in the lobby. We are accepting Christmas cards to be delivered to our regular attenders on Sunday morning December 24.  Please bring your cards to the church by December 17 if you would like to take advantage of this service.

The Christmas party for all adults is coming up on Friday, December 8, at 6PM.  It will be held here at the church.  Please plan to bring a fun wrapped gift valued at $10 to $20 for a gift exchange game.  Bring  your favorite party food to share and plan on a good time.  You can sign up at www.perfectpotluck.com so we know how many to expect (coordinator name: Henry / password: Christmas).

The DoorKeepers Christmas party will be held Saturday, December 9, at 4PM.  Please let Bethany Henry know your intent to attend.  Wear your most festive Christmas gear and plan on a good time.
