“O Little Town” – Christmas 2024 Message Series

Join us for Worship on Sundays at 8:45a or 10:30a as we worship with Christmas music and study through the series, “O Little Town:  The Significance of Jesus & Bethlehem.”(Series Starts December 1st)
Micah 5:2 says, “But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, though you are small among the clans of Judah, out of you will come for me one who will be ruler over Israel, whose origins are from of old, from ancient times.”
Bethlehem may have been a small town that really had no major notoriety, but it was where Jesus was destined to be born.  His birth fulfilled Prophecy in Bethlehem and there are alot of things we learn from the city that relates to the life of Jesus, and it relates to us this Christmas and everyday as we are impacted by its’ significance and what we learn from it.

Get some Rest and Spend time with Family!
We know it’s been a long and busy year for many, so once we reach mid-December, our schedule diminishes with our regular events, and we essentially have our Sunday Worship Services and our Christmas Eve Worship.

 

We want you and your families to Make Memories Together, Get Rested, and we’ll get everything going strong again in 2024.

SHARING WITH OTHERS THIS CHRISTMAS

In lieu of collecting money for families, we will be handling it on an as-needed basis with our benevolence fund to share with others as God has blessed us.  If you know of a family in need, or you want to contribute to the financial blessing for a family in need (by means of HEB or Walmart gift card), please reach out to Pastor Michael.

ONE WORSHIP SERVICE
Sunday, December 29th at 10am.
We know people will be in and out over the Christmas Break visiting with family and making memories, and we also want to give our volunteers some rest, so we will enjoy one family worship service on December 29th.
We will not have KidzClub, Nursery, or Toddler Care on that Sunday so our volunteers can catch their breath.  We will love having all our church family together in worship, and will cater to the whole family during worship.
Our Normal Sunday Schedule will resume January 5th!
