CHRISTMAS EVE CANDLELIGHT SERVICE – Dec. 24, 7:oo pm

Next Sunday is the 4th Sunday in Advent and Christmas Eve, In the morning, we will have our normal worship service and light the 4th candle of the advent wreath.  That evening, we invite you to join us for a family-friendly candlelight service celebrating the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ.  This service of song, carol and Scripture provides a wonderful opportunity to get a sense of how eager the Hebrews were for the coming of the Messiah so long ago, and reminds us how eager we are for his return.  We look forward to seeing you there!

HELPING HANDS OFFERING – NEXT SUNDAY

Each 5th Sunday, any undesignated offerings placed in the collection plates go to Helping Hands, a ministry of churches in the Madison Heights-Elon area of Amherst County to help residents in need. It is administered through Madison Heights Baptist Church. Thank you for helping us meet the needs of those in our community!
