Our Father, Who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread.

Amen. UMH #881
I believe in God the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth; And in Jesus Christ His only Son our Lord: Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried; the third day He rose from the dead: He ascended into heaven, and sitteth at the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from thence He shall come to judge the quick and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.

Everlasting Father, Perfect Parent, only in Your designs could the Creator become a part of creation. Forgive us when we try to define Your infinite nature and wind up limiting You in ways that are harmful. We are thankful for the imagination of the prophet who could dream of the divine mystery of God entering the world as a baby. Help us to name and praise You in this hour of worship.

The youth helped the elementary children pack shoeboxes on November 20th. We had a wonderful time working with all the elementary teachers and Miss Michele. The children had a great time and packed 65 shoeboxes. What a great way for them to start the holiday season, by giving to other children the gift of Jesus and love. Thank you to all who donated money, items and your time. We look forward to more times together spreading the love of Jesus. —————————————————————————————— Christmas Eve Services, December 24th, 2016 5:00pm Contemporary Family Service featuring Holy Communion and Candlelighting in the Christian Life Center, some components in Spanish, children’s sermon time with the puppets, Rev.
