SUNDAY WORSHIP: Dec 8 @ 10a

• There will be NO Bible Fellowship this Sunday and worship will begin at 9:30a.
• This sermon will focus on the long-awaited outcome of the birth, life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. We will focus on the peace that is offered in Jesus that is different from the peace the world offers. Peace can help us face the troubles of the world without fear. It is all about the prophetic promise of peace that is fulfilled through the birth of our Savior.
• There is a luncheon following worship for those that are working the first shift. Bring soup and sandwiches to share.
• Deconstruction begins as soon as the last person leaves. Please come and help so that we can get finished quickly. If we have a good crew, we should be done about 9p. Deconstruction is limited to 6th grade and up. Wear work clothes!
