This week, I will conclude the Reasons to Believe series. In this series, we are focusing on three parts of the Christmas story: Was it a miracle, chance or grand conspiracy?
12/16 The predicted pregnancy — The virgin birth of Jesus (click here)
12/23 The predicted place — the birth of Jesus in Bethlehem (click here)
12/30 The predicted plight — The escape of Jesus to Egypt (click here)
May you experience the hope and peace that only Christ can give us during this busy season!
-- Pastor Greg

Ministering to young parents
During worship service, St Joe offers classes for infants through fifth grade to learn about Jesus in a safe and caring environment. To place your child in one of these classes, or to volunteer, sign up at the Sign-In Counter in the Great Room. Contact Bonita Byman with any questions.
Connection Groups
(aka "Small Groups.") Connection Groups are small groups of people who meet regularly in homes, restaurants, the St Joe church building, or other adaptable areas. Connection Groups now has a dedicated web page at http://www.stjoecommunitychurch.org/connection-group.html.
Take Ten
Rescue Mission Encouragement Cards are available on top of the offering box. More information.
Everybody is on a journey of spiritual discovery and St Joe Community Church is a place where you can process your beliefs and hang out with people at various stages in their own faith journey. St Joe invites you to participate with us as we celebrate, contemplate and activate our faith through a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
To that end, as you're ready, when you're ready, please fill out the Connection Card included in the bulletin every Sunday, or just go online to our website and fill out the information there. Doing so does not mean you're applying for membership or becoming obligating for anything in anyway; it's just a step toward getting acquainted. Above all, I pray that God will restore your hope, renew your love and increase your faith as you get to know the St Joe family. Thank you for taking a moment to learn more about us! --Pastor Greg Byman
