Merry Christmas, Collection for Haiti Missions Trip, Holiday Schedule (Pastoral Emphasis for 12/23)

Merry Christmas! Let us celebrate the birth and incarnation of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Jesus came as the perfect God-man (God in flesh). But Jesus did not stay an infant. He grew, lived a perfect life, and with joy made His way to the cross. The perfect God-man endured the cross for wretched sinners like us. The great Savior died for great sinners! He paid our great debt of sin by His agonizing death. Three days later, Christ gloriously rises from the dead. His resurrection defeats sin, death, and Satan. His resurrection is proof that those who trust in Christ will rise from the dead to live eternally. So may your joy this season not be in a Christmas tree but in the One who hung on the tree for your sins!

I want to praise God and thank everyone for their generosity for the Zone 3 sponsored coat drive. We were able to donate 24 adult coats and 14 children’s coats to the Salvation Army Homeless Shelter in downtown Raleigh. Soli Deo Gloria (all glory to God)!

Our Haiti Missionary Team is collecting items to take with them to Haiti next month and you can help. They will be accepting donations at the church until 1/13. Flyers with the items needed are available at the Welcome Center. Here are items needed:

cereal boxes
fabric scraps
bars of soap
decks of cards
snacks/candy
peanut butter
pancake mix
toilet paper

You saw it featured in the Christmas program; now you can experience it yourself…the next Family Power Hour is next Sunday at 9am. I would love to see your family there.

Holiday Schedule: There will be no Wednesday evening or Thursday morning Bible Study or Prayer & Testimony Service for the next two weeks. Everything resumes the week of January 7th.

Everyone is invited to attend our New Year's Eve Service at 10:00pm on Monday, December 31st.
