    As we enter into this season, please prayerfully consider ways that you can share the real joy of Christ’s birth with those who do not know Him as their Savior and Lord. There are many ways to share the greatest gift ever given.

    Here are a few ideas:

    Share God’s Word: Help us share God’s Word with our neighbors. Help prepare Christmas Bible outreach packets and then pass them out in your neighborhood or help us distribute them in other neighborhoods.

    Ladies’ Christmas Dinner: Introduce others to Christ and to His followers through this fun event that is easy to bring friends to.

    Give a Gift with Meaning: Attend the ServantWorks gift party and find great deals on gifts made by women rescued from the streets of Thailand. Nice gifts that tell a story and support ministry.

    Christmas Gatherings: Invite your neighbors, family and friends into your home to celebrate the season, to share traditions and to share the truth of the gospel.

    Christmas Carol Sing, Children’s Christmas Program & Christmas Eve Services: People are much more likely to come to church during the Christmas season if you invite them.

    Christmas Eve Candlelight Services: 4 pm & 6 pm

    Natural Conversations: Bring up Christ in your regular conversations. Some conversation starters that can help with this are on

    Share Christ in Your Home: Consider setting aside time each day from November 29 through Christmas to celebrate Advent and share a devotional with those in your home.

    Advent devotionals available at the Welcome Center.The season of Christmas is here.
