Thursday. December 23rd at 7pm

These services are perfect for families to attend together, so there will not be any high school or middle school services during these times. See you there!!

Current Sunday Morning Series:

"I wish I may, I wish I might, have this wish, I wish tonight." When I was younger, I would stare at the sky, recite this poem, and then dream about the most extraordinary things I could ever hope for. It is interesting how the mystery of the sky can spur on thoughts and dreams that seem out of our reach. Yet God used the biggest and brightest of stars to announce something beyond extraordinary. It was the arrival of someone that would change our relationship with him, the one that created these stars, forever.

For the next three weeks we are going to look at the extraordinary things that God did that night that changed ordinary lives forever. Through these stories, we are going to see how God can work through our 'ordinary' lives today and do things better beyond anything we could ever imagine. It is more powerful than a wish. It is following and living for the one that makes these stars shine.

Wacky Winter Wonderland

Instead of small groups this week, we will all be meeting together for a fun Christmas Themed Night. We will play Christmas related games and talk about the Christmas Story. This is a PERFECT night to bring friends!

The only thing you will need to bring is a wrapped gift worth $1 or less. We will be having a gift exchange so wrap an item from your room, garage, or dollar spot.

Please note that the required attire for this event is FESTIVE! We will be having costume contests for who dresses the most Christmas-like so be sure to get creative!

The Christmas Festive Event is absolutely free. See you there!!
