Celebrating Our Lord and King!

Celebrating Christmas in Many Ways!

Merry Christmas!  Praying that Christ is at the center of you holiday celebrations!  Thanks for celebrating with us in these ways:

New Creation Men's Gift Bags

Thanks for all the contributions of items to our homeless men.  Twenty-five bags have been package with hats, gloves, personal care items, munchies, and more.  These were dropped off at New Creation early this week.  Continue to pray that the men will know God's love through these packages as well as the care they receive from the body of Christ in the many churches that make up the shelter.

Family Christmas Program 2014

We do a Family Christmas program because it is an opportunity to use the talents that God has given to give back and to share His love with friends and family.  Over 50 people participated in using their gifts this season - some on stage and others behind the scenes.  Little children all the way through adults use this opportunity not only to put a smile on God's face and as a result offers something for all ages.

If you missed the opportunity to attend, you can view it online here.

Christmas Eve Service

Together we welcomed in Christmas Day as we remember God coming to earth in human form in song and Word.  As many spend time with family, we joined together as God's family to remember the birth of our Lord and King.

Pete and the worship team led us back over 2000 years to a different time and place; A time under the rule of a powerful, self-proclaimed son of god (Augustus Cesar son of Julius Cesar) where in contrast the real Son of God is born in a stable and laid in a manger, the Creator of all that was and is.  Together we worshiped our Creator God come to earth in human form.

Love and joy was shared as people lingered after the service enjoying having Christ in common.
