First on the list is our annual Christmas Eve service. This year, it promises to be extra special with a live nativity scene, carol singing, and a heartfelt message from Pastor Thompson.

Following that, we have our New Year's Day brunch. Start the year off right with a delicious meal and fellowship with your church family.

Be sure to RSVP so we can get an accurate headcount.

In mid-January, we will be hosting a marriage enrichment seminar led by renowned relationship expert, Dr. Emily Carter. This seminar is designed to help couples strengthen their bond, improve communication, and navigate the challenges of married life. Whether you've been married for one year or fifty, this seminar will provide valuable insights and practical tools to enhance your relationship. Don't miss this opportunity to invest in your marriage!

Lastly, we are organizing a mission trip to build homes for underprivileged families in Mexico. This is a chance to put your faith into action and make a tangible difference in the lives of others. The trip will take place in February, and we are looking for volunteers with various skills, from construction to cooking to childcare. If you're interested in participating, please sign up at the information desk after the service.

Ministry Opportunities

Get involved! There are numerous ways to contribute your time and talents to our church community. Whether you have a knack for teaching, a heart for service, or a passion for music, there's a ministry that's perfect for you. Your involvement not only enriches the lives of others but also deepens your own spiritual journey. Let’s explore some of the exciting ministry opportunities available.

One of our most pressing needs is in the children's ministry. We are always looking for dedicated volunteers to help with Sunday school classes, childcare during services, and special events for kids. If you love working with children and have a desire to share your faith with them, this is the perfect opportunity for you. We provide training and resources to help you succeed in this rewarding ministry.

If you have a musical talent, consider joining our choir or worship team. We are always looking for singers, instrumentalists, and sound technicians to enhance our worship services. Music plays a vital role in our church, and your contributions can help create a meaningful and uplifting experience for the congregation. Whether you're a seasoned musician or just starting out, we welcome your participation.

For those who enjoy serving behind the scenes, we have opportunities in our hospitality ministry. This ministry is responsible for greeting guests, serving refreshments, and ensuring that everyone feels welcome and comfortable at our church. If you have a friendly personality and a desire to make people feel at home, this is a great way to get involved. Your warm smile and welcoming attitude can make a big difference in someone's experience.

Finally, we are always in need of volunteers to help with our community outreach programs. These programs include feeding the homeless, visiting nursing homes, and tutoring underprivileged students. If you have a heart for service and a desire to make a difference in our community, this is a wonderful way to put your faith into action. Your efforts can bring hope and healing to those in need.

Special Announcements

Don't miss out on these important updates! We have a few special announcements that we want to bring to your attention. These announcements cover a range of topics, from fundraising campaigns to policy changes, so please take a moment to read them carefully.

Firstly, we are launching a fundraising campaign to renovate our church hall. The hall is in need of significant repairs and upgrades, and we are seeking donations to help us complete this project. The renovated hall will provide a more comfortable and functional space for our church events and activities. Any contribution, big or small, will be greatly appreciated. You can donate online or by placing a check in the offering plate.

Secondly, there has been a change to our policy regarding the use of the church facilities. In order to ensure the safety and security of our members and guests, we are now requiring all individuals and groups to obtain permission before using the church facilities for any event or activity. This policy applies to both church members and outside organizations. Please contact the church office to request permission and reserve a space.

In other news, we are organizing a blood drive in partnership with the American Red Cross. This is a chance to save lives and give back to our community. The blood drive will be held in the church hall on the third Sunday of each month. Please sign up at the information desk if you are interested in donating blood. Your donation can make a life-saving difference for someone in need.

Finally, we want to remind everyone about the importance of tithing. Tithing is a biblical principle that involves giving 10% of your income to the church. This is a way to honor God and support the ministry of the church. Your tithes help us to pay our staff, maintain our facilities, and fund our outreach programs. We encourage you to prayerfully consider tithing as an act of worship and generosity.
