As many of you know, it was recently decided that we will remain at one service for the near future. Last week we gave the congregation two schedules from which to choose. The vote has been counted and checked and rechecked and the people have spoken! So our new Sunday morning schedule, Beginning Sunday Oct 14th, is as follows:
Christmas concerts. What would Christmas be without them? You can take the grinchiest-cold-hearted, anti-Christmas commando and put him or her in the audience of a Sunday School Christmas pageant and their hearts will melt. Guaranteed!
Last Sunday we had our Sunday School Concert. It was called “the Great Christmas Giveaway” and it was truly excellent and full of many wonderful and surprisingly good performances. The story involve some students shopping at a mall for their teachers’ Christmas present and how, through their interaction with some of the store owners in the mall, they learn the true meaning of Christmas. Wouldn’t you just love that to be true? What would it be like if shopping in the mall, and interacting with sales staff ended up being a spiritual experience that pointed us to the truth of Christ? It’s a bit hard to believe such a
thing would happen, isn’t it?
Well, I don’t think so because shopping in the mall is always a spiritual experience for me, because throughout the process, I spend a lot of time in repentance for the thoughts I am having about the crowds and the line ups and the store owners. Then I am always deeply in prayer so that I can find my car in the parking lot! I need my own personal Christmas Star to lead me to my car. Do you have any idea how many tan Honda Accords there are in any given parking lot? I seem to have digressed, let’s get back to the Christmas Concert.
The concert is free but there will be an opportunity to participate in a love offering.

Who likes tests? I know some people love quizzes and puzzles that test your skills or knowledge, but those are test that really don't count. They don't matter. The results are not life-changing or life-impacting. Who likes medical tests? Who likes waiting for test results? No one, right?
The power and challenge of the test is how important the results will be. But, the benefit of a test can also be that it prepares us for something more, even when we fail, we can learn and grow from that failure. This Sunday Grant is looking at the power of the test. Come and join us! There may be a test!
Every Wednesday we get together to pray and study God’s Word.
We begin with our study at 6:30 pm. This is a time of informal, relational study together. We have a lot of laughs and lots of serious discussions as we seek to understand and apply God’s Word to our lives.
Then at 8:00 pm a group of dedicated people lifts the ministries and concerns of the congregation and community to the Lord. If you have a concern you would like prayed for, or if you would like to be present to be prayed for, you can email Grant.
GROW is on break until May 1st
