Advent Series: Chosen
With 8 billion people on this planet, it’s easy to wonder why any one person matters. The Christmas story shows us that God has chosen the average person to do great things for His kingdom. Join us as we peer into the lives of different characters in the Christmas story to see the wonder of God’s purposes and grace.

Pack a gift bag!
We are partnering with Arcola School to provide gift bags for kids who might not otherwise receive a Christmas present. Please pick a tag off the tree in the lobby and using the ideas given, pack a gift bag for the appropriate age. Gift bags must be returned to the church by Sunday, Dec 17. Thank you for your generosity!
