Do You Have A Song To Sing This Christmas?
God’s people have always been a singing people! One reason for this singing is we have a God who fills our hearts with overflowing joy! And that joy spills out through song!
Even in dark and painful times, the truth of God’s grace, love, power, and presence awakens strong songs that find themselves on the lips of God’s weary saints. Before the song even ends, the weary saints many times have found a renewed spirit and perfect peace as this song has allowed their minds to stay on the Lord.
Do you have a song to sing this Christmas? Whether your circumstances have you naturally overflowing with praise today or you are eager for a refreshing song to lift your spirits… I want to encourage you to come to worship on Sunday at 10:30 as our choir and worship ministries lead us in a wonderful morning of lifting our hearts in praise to our awesome God!
One thing is for sure… as we focus on Jesus this weekend, you’ll leave with a song you can sing and share with others this Christmas.

If you do not see a box with your name, but would like to request one, please let the church office know. We may have a limited number of extra boxes available.
