the Logos

We have made it to the end.  We've been reading through the Bible as a church family this year and we've made it to week 52 of our 52-week reading plan. I hope everyone has enjoyed reading through the entire Bible with this reading plan. Everyone is invited to join us for our New Year's Eve Service on Thursday, December 31st, at 10:00pm. Throughout next year, we'll be looking at Seeing Jesus in the OT. On Wednesday, January 6th, we start with "The Promised One: Seeing Jesus in Genesis". I'm really excited about these Bible Study series. As we see Christ in the people and patterns and in the shadows and stories of the OT, it will help us understand the person and work of Christ more clearly and cause us to worship Him more fully. We were blessed today to have Bro. Joe Hancock back in the service today. He is a living testimony of God's grace to heal and restore. Also, Minister Keith Patterson and his family were in town and worshiped with us tod...

We are almost done reading through the Bible as a church family this year. We've been following the 52-week reading plan. We are on week 51. Today is the fourth Sunday of Advent. Advent is a word that means “coming” or “visit”. In the Christian season of Advent, we prepare for the "advent" of Christ at Christmas. The theme for this Advent Sunday is love. "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life".

To give our teachers, deacons, and leaders more time with family during the holidays, we have some cancellations. There will be no Elder-led Prayer this month. Prayer & ...

We are reading through the Bible as a church family this year. We're following the 52 week reading plan. We are on week 50. Today is the third Sunday of Advent. Advent is a word that means "coming" or "visit". In the Christian season of Advent, we prepare for the "advent" of Christ at Christmas. The theme for this Advent Sunday is joy.  The birth of Jesus was good news of great joy! "And the angel said to them, 'Fear not, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.'" Luke 2:10-11 (ESV) That's why we sing... Joy to the world! The Lord is come; Let earth receive her king; Let every heart prepare him room, And heaven and nature sing, And heaven and nature sing, And heaven, and heaven, and nature sing. As our 150th Anniversary year is coming to a close, you can still submit "Your Story" to...

Advent is a word that means "coming" or "visit". In the Christian season of Advent, we prepare for the "advent" of Christ at Christmas. One of themes of  Advent is peace.
