The Baskets are Gone

2025 ushers in new things, including how we receive our offering. As announced, we’re getting rid of the baskets. We’ll have a collection box in the lobby where you can give cash or checks. You can also give online anytime and even setup recurring payments.

We’re so grateful for the faith and faithfulness that your giving represents.

“The point is this: whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that having all sufficiency in all things at all times, you may abound in every good work.”
2 Corinthians 9:6-8

We Offer Every Year to the Lord

How many Christian songs have been written specifically for a new year? Not many. But our friends at Sovereign Grace Music have written a beautiful one.

Listen here and enjoy the lyrics below.

VERSE 1
This spinning world by Your own hand
Hurls ever on around the sun
The seasons march at Your command
The old departs, the new year comes
And though celestial is Your gaze
You search and care for all our ways
We offer up to You this day
And all of our tomorrows

VERSE 2
May zealous youth and cautious age
Determine not the steps we choose
Great Shepherd, guide us through each day
Oh, how we want to follow You
Come Living Way, our way make clear
Let perfect love drive out our fear
Be Thou our vision, now and here
And all of our tomorrows

VERSE 3
When winter makes us reminisce
Of warmer days so distant now
Of cherished saints the sun once kissed
Whose beauty passed behind the clouds
Let all our fond and longing tears
Remind us we are pilgrims here
We trust You, Sovereign of our years
With all of our tomorrows

VERSE 4
Hands to the plow, we’re pressing on
And running hard to win the prize
Empowered by the love of God
With grace before and grace behind
For lo, what hope before us stands
You finish all that You began
Eternal joy is in Your hands
And all of our tomorrows

Colossians 3:1-4

We gather every Sunday to hear the gospel of Jesus Christ proclaimed. God's Word is preached and the Holy Spirit transforms our hearts. We expect to encounter God and be equipped to better serve him each week.

Thanks to all who missed the sermon because you were serving during the service. We are grateful for you and couldn't have done it without you. Enjoy listening to the recording.

Our Biggest Outreach of the Year

Final plans and preparations are in place for our 12th annual Christmas Eve service. We need you to help us pull it off. Contact the office if you want to volunteer, contribute cookies to our buffet, or sing in our choir.

Personal Invites are Our Marketing Strategy

We need you to make the invites. You can download the digital flyer and post it online or send it via text or email. Invite your family, friends, and neighbors to join us in beholding the Light of the world.

Big-Hearted

‘Big-hearted’ is what ‘benevolence’ means. By God’s grace, that’s who you are.

Our Benevolence Fund is an expression of God’s generosity and yours. It exists to enable church leaders to extend practical help to those in need. We’ve utilized this fund to meet the needs of members in our church and neighbors outside of our fellowship.

We’re taking a special Benevolence Offering this Sunday, December 22nd. This is your opportunity to give above and beyond so that our church can support those who need a helping hand.

Pray. Talk to your spouse. Set aside money so that you can give in faith to the fund this week. You can give online or by writing a check with “Benevolence Fund” in the memo.

Thank you for being a big-hearted church.

We’ve Got Your Curated Christmas Playlist Ready

Even though you won’t admit it, we know you’ve been listening to Christmas music for over a month! There’s no need to feel guilty. The incarnation is worth celebrating all year.

We've created a Christmas Spotify playlist to help you get beautiful songs about the coming of Christ into your head and heart.

Take me to the Christmas Spotify playlist.
