Hope you’re having a very happy December day!!
We are looking forward to seeing you this Sunday, December 11th as we wrap up our message series, “A Christmas Carol.” Two Sundays we looked at “The Ghost of Christmas Past” and spoke of five different memory aids that we see or hear around Christmas. There was the nativity scene, Christmas music, Christmas cards, a credit card and a gift. Each one provided a deep and thoughtful truth about Christmas. This past Sunday we actually looked at some of the most memorable classic Christmas toys. The focus, however, was on “The Ghost of Christmas Present” and four specific gifts that God has given us through Christ that we can see in the manger. Remember the four gifts? As we look in the manger we see power, glory, hope and love. This Sunday it’s “The Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come.” You don’t want to miss it!!
AMPLIFY youth ministry is taking a road trip to Castle Hayne this Sunday night! Meet at the church by 6 pm to head to Randy and Melody Taylor’s for an ol’ fashioned hot dog and marshmallow roast. We’ll plan to return to the church around 7:30 pm.
