To contribute, please choose “Christmas Missions” for online donations or deposit your gift in the offering boxes outside the worship center with a note indicating “Christmas Missions”.

Christmas Apologetics Book: This holiday season we are offering the book “The Case for Christmas” by Lee Strobel. Books will be available for you to pick up at Next Steps. One per family please.

Advent Family Devotional:  Children’s Ministry is providing an Advent Family Devotional Box for each family. It’s a quick, easy Advent resource with weekly activities, scripture references, and questions to complete as a family. Pick up a box at your child’s Sunday school class, Nursery area, or at Next Steps. One per family.

January ABF Electives: Begins Sunday, Jan. 7. As we take a break from our regular ABFs (Adult Bible Fellowships) in January, we invite you to participate in one of our elective class offerings. This is a great way to make new connections and grow deeper in your faith! Class details here.
