Christmas Poinsettias

If you didn’t order any poinsettias and would like one, we have a few extra available to take home today. Please let Adrian (in the sound booth) know if you plan to buy any additional. They are $8.50 each and can be marked on your offering envelope or purchased online.

What’s next for you as a disciple of Jesus?

No matter how long you have known God, there's probably an area of faith where you'd like to learn more. In January, we're starting some groups that will help participants grow in an aspect of faith together:

1. Understanding the Bible: If you've never been exposed to how the Bible is organized or how to use it in your walk of faith, this group will teach you those types of things to help you apply God's word to your everyday living. 

2. Discovering Your Gifts and Calling: This group will walk participants through learning the spiritual gifts outlined in scripture. The group will also engage in different exercises to help everyone discern how God might be calling them to use those gifts in the church or community.

3. Developing Your Prayer and Devotional Life: A lot of people aren't comfortable praying, or they might believe that their prayers aren't effective. This group will focus on understanding the purpose of prayer and different types of prayers. We'll also learn how to use devotional and prayer time to get closer to God. 

Sign up on one of the sheets in the back of the sanctuary. The groups will set their own meeting time after the new year. If you'd like more information, see Pastor Scott.

Sponsor A Youth Group Snack

Part of our Youth Group program is a time of snack. We provide snacks each meeting because we believe that food brings them together in fellowship with one another and helps them to connect socially and have casual conversations with each other. Plus, what teenager doesn’t like food? 

We are looking for volunteers to help in the following ways:

• By providing snack items such as chips, drinks, cookies, etc. that we can use any week.

• Providing a pre-made snack (homemade or store bought) on a specific Youth Group night.

• Providing monetary donations.

If this is something you would be interested in supporting, please contact Adrienne Demmin.
