Worship

A Word from Our Pastor

Good morning, Church Family!

Psalm 96 tells us to, “Sing to the LORD a new song; sing to the LORD, all the earth. Sing to the LORD, praise His name; proclaim His salvation day after day. Declare His glory among the nations, His marvelous deeds among all peoples!”

And that is our opportunity today! We get to SING TO THE LORD as our Celebration Choir presents for us this year’s Christmas Cantata titled, “The Heart of Christmas!”

I pray you will join the choir in singing and worshipping with JOY as they remind us of the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ!

Let’s worship Jesus!
Pastor Danny

PS Come back again tomorrow night, Dec. 19, at 6pm, and please bring family, friends, and neighbors as the choir presents an encore performance of “The Heart of Christmas!”

Advent

God, thank You for giving us joy by sending Your Son for us. Please help us to remember Your love for us no matter what is happening in our lives. Show us ways we can share Your joy in our lives this season. In Jesus’ name, amen.
