EMERGENCY VOTERS’
MEETING SUNDAY

Our Admin Board has scheduled an Emergency Voters' Meeting on Sunday, December 18 following worship. The pump for our boiler has failed. Fortunately, still have heat in many parts of our building from phase 1 of our boiler replacement plan. Phase 2 of the replacement plan has already been authorized and will begin ASAP. This will still leave a few rooms in the building without heat. The purpose of this meeting will be to share, discuss, and vote on options to ensure heat is provided to the entire building.

In the meantime, we ask that you would prayerfully consider giving to the Year-End Offering which is designated to be used to replace the boiler.

Who is Jesus?: Son of Solomon

Our Advent message series is Who is Jesus? In this series, we will look at how the genealogy from the Gospel of Matthew informs us about who Jesus is and what that means for us today. This week’s message is Jesus is Son of Solomon.

Hi Church-

I want to get real with you for a moment. Ministry takes money. We love Jesus. We volunteer. We worship him. We pray. We serve. All this is great. But the work of ministry involves the people of God being generous in the use of their finances.

We all know that costs have gone up. The price of gas. The price food. The price of clothes. We all feel it. The church has felt it too.

The temptation is to take what we would give to God to use that to meet our increased costs. Our temptation is to trust more in our money than in the Lord. I would encourage you to keep trusting in the Lord in your giving. It is difficult financial times that reveal where our faith is truly placed.
