The Christmas Story is more than just a story about hope, peace, joy, and love. It is a true story about redemption, and a God that wants to be with us just as we are, but also showing us a better way to live our life to the fullest. On this day after Christmas, join us as we learn more about this story that is more than just a story.
Out of consideration for others, please wear a mask regardless of your vaccination status.
The service will be livestreamed to our Facebook group for those not ready to return in person.
Sermons will be posted on YouTube (video) and on our website (audio)

Everyone who sees my Nativity notices the number of sheep. When I go to thrift stores I see Nativity sheep all alone on the shelf. I get them and bring them home to add to my flock. What better animals to add. Jesus looks for all the lost sheep, no matter who they are, and brings them into His flock. No one should be left out of the Love that God gives to everyone. -Linda Ellis

A Birthday Prayer: O God, our times are in your hand: Look with favor, we pray, on these friends as they begin another year. Grant that they may grow in wisdom and grace, and strengthen their trust in your goodness all the days of their life; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen
Surprise Us God!
Good morning God!
Surprise us.
Make our faith greater than our fears; grow us in the covering of your love.
December: Prayer When Feeling Inadequate
Dear Lord, Thank you for fearfully and wonderfully creating each of us. Thank You for giving us worth in Your eyes. Help us live as the one You uniquely intended us to be. Help us abide instead of strive, living peacefully and joyfully as heirs to Your Kingdom and co-heirs with Christ. In Jesus' name, Amen.
