Minister’s Corner

Shalom aleikhem! שָׁלוֹם עֲלֵיכֶם Peace be upon you!

A blessed morning to you and thank you for choosing to worship with us this morning. We are in the second Sunday of Advent as we move from the theme of HOPE to the theme of PEACE for this week. If HOPE is the essential ingredient to survival in a fallen world, then PEACE is the necessary ingredient to happiness and JOY, which is our theme for next week. In Christ we have each of these essential ingredients welling up to a fullness of life. Each builds upon the other, so let peace today reign on the living hope we’ve explored all week, for we already know that in all circumstances God is supreme and even when our environment doesn’t warrant our hope that we continue to trust, just as the Apostles did, that God continues to rule and that all that takes place is for our benefit.

This Wednesday – December 11th – Fellowship Dinner & Mid-Week Bible Study

From 6:00PM we will get together for our fellowship dinner. This is a BYOD (Bring Your Own Dinner) type of event. It’s our family time of getting to fellowship and “take a load off.”

From 7:00PM we will have a bible study led by Manu.

Birthdays this week: Kenny Burtch (10th); Ron Palmer (14th)

Bible Break – Ladies Bible Study – Tuesday 10:00AM

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.

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 – THANK YOU.

A heartfelt thank you to all of you who showed up at the Church of Christ Care Center last Sunday. I was told by one of the residents there that Troy Church comes with the biggest number of people and people who are happy and joyful. Know that you are a breath of fresh air to those folks and once a month is definitely not too difficult for any of us to bless them this way. THANK YOU!

Christmas Eve Service & Christmas Dinner

Please make plans to attend our Christmas Eve Candlelight Service at 4:30PM on the 24th. The service will be followed by our Christmas Dinner. A BIG THANK YOU to Charles & Maureen who have agreed to facilitate this year’s Christmas Dinner yet again. If you want to help, please get in touch with Charles.
