Sanctuary Choir Christmas Musical Sunday, December 17, 6 PM Presenting a compelling new Christmas musical based on one of the most cherished Gaither songs of all time Jesus, There’s Something about That Name. This powerful musical presentation combines narration, several heart-warming hymns and favorites along with moving new songs which retells God’s purpose and plan to send the Promised One – Jesus! At the name of Jesus, every knee shall bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord! Afterwards join us in the Fellowship Hall for sandwiches (provided by church). PLEASE BRING COOKIES! Be sure to invite your friends and family for this special Christmas event.

Would you pray over the planning of a family mission trip for next summer. We are looking at the Kokomo, Indiana
area because of the partnership between our two associations. Bro. Mark and Tom will be taking a trip in

church family.
