Mid-week Announcements on December 1, 2021

1) Prayer Meeting tonight, December 1^st (in-person) 6:30 PM – Join us tonight at 6:30 PM at the church building for our prayer meeting as we gather to sing, hear an encouraging word from Psalm 118:5-7, and pray together.

2) Budget and Member Meeting dates/times – Members, please mark your calendar for the upcoming meetings:

• On December 5^th, (after the morning service), there is an optional budget discussion meeting where the elders will walk thru the proposed 2022 budget, review and take questions.
• On December 12^th (after the morning service), we have a members’ meeting scheduled.

3) Christmas Eve Service – Mark your calendars for our Christmas Eve service, 6:00 PM at the church building on December 24^th. We’ll gather to praise God for the Christ who came for us in song and Scripture. Use it as an opportunity to invite friends, neighbors, and family.

4) Memorizing Romans 8 Together Challenge: Romans 8 is jam-packed with glorious truths about God good for us to dwell on and memorize. As our church works through Romans 8 this Fall (see Sermon Card), we wanted to offer a Scripture memory challenge to our church as a way to hide God’s word in our hearts. Beginning September, we have 13 weeks to memorize all of Romans 8 (which has 39 verses). Find a friend to memorize with or do it with your family! For a helpful tool, check out biblememory.com. If you prefer to go at your own pace, go for it! For those who find it helpful to have a plan, here you go:

5) New Sermon Card – Join us in reading through the text we’re diving into each Sunday, praying before for God to open our eyes to see His beauty, and praying after for God to bear fruit in our lives – that we would be doers of His word for His glory.

6) Book Recommendations – Love Came Down at Christmas: Daily Readings for Advent, by Sinclair B. Ferguson
