Minister’s Corner

Shalom aleikhem! שָׁלוֹם עֲלֵיכֶם Peace be upon you!

Here we are! We’ve made it to the last Sunday of 2024, only a few days off from ringing the new 2025 year. Thank you for being with us this morning as we say good-bye to 2024 and look forward to all that 2025 will be bringing our way. Allow me to be the first to wish you a Happy New Year and to encourage you to make sure that in the new year your chief resolution is abandon yourself to Christ to a greater degree. What areas of your life does Jesus not have control over already? In what areas and in what ways are you still trying, in vain, to save yourself? As we welcome this new year 2025 let us remember that Christ values our hearts above all else because our hearts are the true engine of our being. No, not the bio pump in our chest but the conscience that determines our every step in life. A HAPPY NEW YEAR 2025!

This Wednesday – No events – Happy New Year

Bible Break – No class this week

Every Tuesday morning, a group of ladies from different congregations joins a group of our ladies for a Bible class. Currently studying Romans. Please invite any of the ladies you know.

Birthdays this week: Jon Balun (29^th); Foy Palmer (2^nd)

Zoom Bible Reading – Monday & Thursday from 7:15PM

Please plan to join our Bible Reading group. This session they will be reading through the New Testament. You can use the same Zoom link as you use to join the services on Sunday morning.

Church of Christ Care Center – January 5^th – NEXT SUNDAY.

Our next service date for the Church of Christ Care Center is January 5^th. Please plan on attending and please let Pat or Manu know if you would like to be involved in any capacity. You can lead songs, lead prayers, lead Communion, etc. This is a great way to be of service and to love on Jesus by loving on His people.
