We will again host a Christmas Day Potluck at our Uptown location from noon-2:00pm. This is open to everyone, and a great way to celebrate with other church family who don’t have plans on Christmas Day. Bring a side dish to share if you are able (vegetable/salad/dessert). A main meat, potatoes, drinks (water and coffee), and table service will be provided. Tell your friends to come along as well!

Exchange your doubt for courage this Advent and Christmas season. It's not too late! Join our 9:45 Adult Sunday School in Uptown Room 310 as they study Adam Hamilton's book, "Faithful - Christmas Through the Eyes of Joseph. At times, it can be tempting just to walk away when we encounter circumstances that we would never have chosen for ourselves. Joseph provides us a great example of humbly obeying God even when we don't understand and faithfully moving forward in the strength that God provides.
