Worship @ Raleigh Winterfest, Christmas Program & Dinner, Don't Distract (Pastoral Emphasis for 12/7)

The Worship Ministry did an awesome job at the Raleigh Winterfest last night.  We praise God for the opportunity to sing and mime the praises of Jesus to the gathered crowd and those walking around. 



Come out and celebrate our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ at our Christmas Program and Dinner on Saturday, December 13th, at 4:00pm.  This is a perfect opportunity to invite your friends and family to fellowship with our Church Family.  Please sign up online and indicate the number of people in your group.  Members are asked to bring their favorite side dish or dessert. Also, please indicate what food dishes you will be bringing on the sign-up sheet that will be located at the Welcome Center. And the church was blessed with a lot of meat so we'll be providing the meat.

Immediately following the service today, all singles (never married, divorced, widowed) were invited to gather in the multipurpose room to go to the Golden Corral in the Crossroads area of Cary for a Meet & Greet.  Check with Minister Matt Darby for more information about the singles Life Group and how to connect with other singles for fellowship.

I would like to remind everyone to please 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.  We should be praying for people to respond to the Gospel.  If you need to leave before the end of the service, you can exit when we call for the altar prayer.

All of our members are asked to give at least 5% above your normal giving (tithe/offering), but if you would give 10% or above that would really help make a difference in impacting our shortage. We want to end the year as strongly as possible.  And thanks to all who are giving sacrificially.  It's making a difference!

Responding to the Flooding, Christmas in July Food Drive, New Sermon Series (Pastoral Emphasis for 7/13)

Responding to the Flooding All of us are painfully aware of the devastating flooding that struck our nation recently. As of Friday evening, the confirmed death toll in Texas has risen to 129, with at least 150 individuals still missing across the state. Our hearts are heavy, and we grieve for the lives lost and the families enduring unimaginable pain. One of the first things people tend to do is look for someone to blame. Was it the fault of the warning system not being early enough? Was it the fault of the government (state and federal)? Was it the fault of God? If God is so good, why do we suffer with natural disasters like flooding that takes the lives of seemingly innocent people like young children? The reality is that the fault lies with us. Humanity decided to rebel against the Creator God, thereby, ushering in sin and the fall from God's perfect creation. Natural disasters happen because we live in a fallen world ravaged by sin. Natural disasters like these floods are trag...
