Going Deep with God in Depression, 2017 Church Theme, Holiday Schedule (Pastoral Emphasis for 12/18)

On last Sunday, we praise God for the two individuals who rededicated their lives, the two young ladies who trusted in Christ, and Sis. Danielle Downing who joined the church. Today, we also praise God for the young lady (13 years old) who was baptized. All Glory to God!

The Christmas season is not joyous for many people especially for some who struggle with depression. During the time, suicides increase. For some, depression can be triggered by a change in season. Even believers can suffer with depression. I want to offer some encouragement with this interview with Christian author, Randy Alcorn about Going Deep with God in Depression.

For additional resources, check out my sermon series on depression, Gospel Light in Deep Darkness. You can order the messages online or watch it from the archives on our website (end of August-September timeframe).

Our 2017 Church Theme is "Make Disciples: Helping Others To Follow Jesus". We will be focusing on strengthening your walk with Jesus and equipping you to share your faith and how to disciple others. For Bible Study, we will be using DisciplesPath, The Journey, a one-year intentional plan for discipleship. You will not want to miss it. Also, beginning in February, the lady's will have their own Women's Sunday School class on first Sundays.

Reminder: CFCFC is having their annual Christmas musical entitled, "A Very Jazzy Christmas – an evening of live jazz" today at 6:00 PM at the Herb Young Community Center.

Don't forgot our upcoming holiday schedule:

On Christmas, we'll be moving our service to 8am, and we'll end around 9:30am.
There will be no Elder-led Prayer or Bible Study on 12/28
On 12/31, our New Year's Eve service starts at 10pm. After midnight, we'll celebrate the Lord's Supper. And we won't have our normal 10am service on New Year's Day.

Thanks to Sis. Karen Gray for providing some Christmas treats, cookies & brownies, after service today.

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...
