FIVE Things I Want to Share with Community of Hope


1. What a great service on Sunday!  I was personally blessed during our time of worship through song.  There is nothing better than entering the Throne Room of Grace and worshiping at the feet of our Lord, the God of Creation. Thanks Alicia for taking us there!

2. Don't forget, you are God's masterpiece!  God has taken your old life that was dead in your transgressions and made you a new creation in Christ.  You have been saved, raised up, and seated with Christ.  He has done this so your life can be on display.  You are his masterpiece.  He has created you in Christ to do good works as a way of life.  When you are obedient, when your life is on display for the world to see, God will be gloried.  Ephesians 2:1-10

3. Special Christmas service scheduled for December 23rd:  if December 25th is Christmas Day and December 24th is Christmas Eve, what do you call December 23rd?  Christmas Adam of course!  Why? Because Adam came before Eve.  Because of the size of our congregation, and knowing that a number of people will be traveling during the Christmas weekend (Christmas is on Sunday this year), we are going to have a very special Christmas Adam service on December 23rd at 7pm.  This will allow families to celebrate and worship together in their homes, while at the same time, providing an opportunity for us to worship together as a congregation.  Alicia and I are actively planning an awesome service filled with celebration and worship of our savior for all ages.  There will be a special time of fellowship in the foyer following the Christmas Adam service.  More details to come.

4. The Bring Hope Challenge is underway.  If you haven’t received a copy of the Bring Hope Challenge info booklet, talk with me ASAP (or follow this link).  I am encouraging everyone to bring their largest gift THIS Sunday.  How will God use you to make a difference in our church, our community, and our world?

5. Remember, found people find people!  Don't miss your opportunity to invite someone to the Christmas series – He Will Be Called – starting SUNDAY (December 4th).

See you soon!

Pastor David
