Merry Christmas, Holiday Schedule, Free Mobile Dental Unit (Pastoral Emphasis for 12/21)

May you have a joyous time celebrating the birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.  The Good News is that Jesus was born as a baby, wrapped in swaddling cloths. Jesus is God wrapped in flesh. Jesus had to be fully human so that He could offer a sacrifice on the Cross that would take away the sins of the people.  Jesus took our nature in Bethlehem, to die our death in Jerusalem.  Merry Christmas to everyone.


Holiday Schedule: No prayer meeting, Bible Studies for the next two weeks.  And there will be no elder-led prayer on Tuesday.  This will give time for everyone (including our teachers and deacons) to enjoy their families.

Everyone is invited to join us for our New Year's Eve Service at 10:00pm on Wednesday, December 31st.  Come out and bring a friend as we praise God for another year.

Zone 3 is on Mission: the Free Mobile Dental Unit will be held on Saturday, January 10th, at Mt. Zion from 8:00am - 5:00pm. We have 10 appointments available for Mt. Zion (first come, first serve basis) and 2 backups in case of cancellation.  Please contact Sis. Tracy Downing asap.

Another reminder that we ask everyone to not move and leave right after the sermon (unless you must go to work) as we don't want the movement to be a distraction for the call to discipleship.  If you need to leave before the end of the service, you can exit when we call for the altar prayer.

We're going to pray for individuals after the service.  So if you need individual prayer after the altar prayer, please remain after the service and we will pray for you around the altar.  We're hoping that this will give more time to pray for people without feeling like we’re prolonging the service.
