1 May 13, 2018 December 23, 2018 Fourth Sunday of Advent We are glad that you are here! Rev. Bill Reinhart, Pastor Today s Sermon: The Real Christmas Story: Elf More, Grinch Less Choosing Love: Do you know the Code of the Elves? Treat every day like Christmas; There s room for everyone on the Nice List; and the best way to spread Christmas cheer is singing loudly for all to hear. What might happen if we all started living like that (with the possible exception of the third one;)? When God sent love into the world on Christmas, it was a bold, worldchanging act. How can we love more boldly?. Questions? Ask anyone with a red nametag for information about our church. Welcome Flyers for new worshipers are found on the Welcome Table in the entryway. Please fill out the Thanks for Being Here card in the pew rack. Time will be given to write any prayer requests and/or comments on your worship experience on the back of the card, then place it in the offering plate. A staffed nursery is available in the education wing for children 5 & under. Children s activity bags for worship are available on the rack by the bookshelf. Copies of the sermon manuscript are available before the service from any usher, and can also be found posted on our church website. Words will be projected for all songs. Some songs are also found in the red hymnal, black hymnal or gray songbook found in your pew and page numbers are listed accordingly in your bulletin. Coffee is served between worship services each week in the Fellowship Hall from 9:20-10:20. Devotional resources are available on the bookshelf in the entryway.
