Be Wise

It’s almost Christmas! The turkeys are gone and it’s actually appropriate for Christmas music and decorations in the stores. It’s time to be thinking and planning your Christmas activities.

Join with us as we begin our #givehope focus the next few weeks. We’ve already adopted families in order to provide joy for families who would otherwise not be able to enjoy the birthday of Jesus. Saturday we will be handing out free hot chocolate at the Charles Town parade and meeting folks from our community on Saturday, December 12, as we distribute door hangers in our local communities inviting them to our Christmas Eve services and for our guests to receive a special Christmas gift when they come.

This Christmas, please be wise. I love the saying: “Wise men still seek Him” – and it’s true. But the wise men were wise not only because they looked for Jesus but because they brought Him a gift. They didn’t wait until they needed something to show appreciation for Him.

This Christmas, will you partner with the wise men of old, myself, and others as we intentionally and purposefully make Christ our first priority by sharing the hope only found in Him with our community.

I love our Church – see you Sunday,

Pastor Mike



Come Closer

Do you want to be closer to God? The Bible tells us that we can be as close to God as we want to be. (James 4:8) The only question is: How important is being close to God for you?

This Sunday we will be celebrating a special time of praise and worship followed by sharing the Lord’s Supper. Join us as we begin this holiday season in a spirit of
Thanksgiving for all God has done for each of us.

See you this Sunday – Pastor Mike



Got Wants?

If you have wants and desires, don’t miss this Sunday! There is nothing wrong with wanting things. In fact, the Bible tells us to ask, so why are there times when we ask and we don’t receive?
 
Last Sunday I answered the question, “What does God like least?” This Sunday I will continue to reveal the road blocks to receiving.

Next Sunday, November 22,  will be awesome! We are taking the entire morning for praise, music, and a special communion service. You won’t want to miss it!

Remember – increasing thanksgiving overcomes grumbling and complaining and allows God to move the challenge you face.
