Welcome
We are so glad you chose to worship with us today and we are excited about all the things God has been doing and will do in our congregation!
Lives are being changed by the power of God. There can be little doubt that we have very little power on our own for lasting change to happen in our lives, yet when we choose to allow the Lord to lead and guide us, amazing things can happen.

The prophets of old revealed God’s plan to save His people
through the birth of God’s only Son, Jesus. May the hope the Christ child brings completely
renew our hearts and minds as we prepare for His coming!
“For to us a child is born, to us a son is given and the government will be on His shoulders. And He will be called Wonderful Counse-
lor, Might god, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace”

Mark 13:32-37 (NIV)
32 “But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. 33 Be on guard! Be alert! You do not know when that time will come.34 It’s like a man going away: He leaves his house and puts his servants in charge, each with their assigned task, and tells the one at the door to keep watch. 35 “Therefore keep watch because you do not know when the owner of the house will come back—whether in the evening, or at midnight, or when the rooster crows, or at dawn. 36 If he comes suddenly, do not let him find you sleeping. 37 What I say to you, I say to everyone: ‘Watch!’
