This Sunday – December 27 - we’re meeting at our normal times of 9:00 and 11:09 but we are not having our “Off the Hook” worship service. Instead, during our 11:09 service, I’ll be retelling the Christmas story with the help of the kids. Bring them to the worship service and we’ll  dress them up as angels, shepherds, Mary and Joseph and have some fun.

Oh, and don’t forget that we have a worship service Christmas Eve at 7:00pm at Calvary Community Church (7550 Cherry Park Drive, off Hwy 6, behind Taco Bell).  We’ll sing some of the traditional Christmas songs. I’ll preach a Christmas message. And then we’ll light the candles and sing “Silent Night.” Sound like a plan?

Merry Christmas,

Pastor Elliott

Here is a reminder that we have a congregational meeting this Sunday at 10:00. We will be electing elders, presenting the budget, and setting the pastors' salaries for the coming year.
 
That's a lot to do in one meeting, but hopefully there will also be time for some question-and-answers on our vision and future together. What have we learned during our time of exploring the Inside-Out vision? What are the next steps? And what about a building? I want to make sure we are communicating our progress. We are a good way through our 6-8 month period of exploring the Inside-Out vision and we are definitely closer to the time to make some decisions. I'll put together a couple of bullet points on where we are for Sunday. If you can't be at the meeting, don't worry, I'll email them out next week.
 
We will definitely have a time to do question-and-answers on Sunday, January 31 ... Read More »
