Women’s Christmas Dinner – December 8: Enjoy a very special night that ladies look forward to all year! As we press into our theme “Serve One Another” we will hear from a panel of leaders in our community (Dayna Carr, Mattie Neese and Debbie Galdo) on how the Lord has given them opportunities to serve. Dinner will be Bill Bishop’s famous smoked chicken along with some sides. Please invite a friend and bring your favorite dessert to share. Our new women’s ministry t-shirts will be available to purchase for $10. Information to sign up for women’s retreat will be available as well. See you there!

Find your FAMILY group – January 5 & 12: Come check out available FAMILY groups and find the best fit for YOU! You’ll have the opportunity to hear about the importance of discipleship, ask questions, and find out how FAMILY groups have blessed those in our congregation and community. Group leaders will be there to answer questions and help you sign up for a great group. No childcare will be provided for this event, (just bring ’em!) Snacks will be provided. This will happen right after each service in Rm 209 on Jan 5 and 12.

Discovery Bible Study – Beginning January 7: 6-week Bible study in the life of Jesus. Curious about Jesus? Or maybe you do not have a vibrant relationship with him or a regular habit of coming to church. We’re here to help! This study will use the discover Bible Study method and will gather in an informal place (coffee shop, brewery etc.). Registration opening soon.

WE Shelter – December 8 – March 31: This winter, the Eagle’s Nest will be home to 12 men. We need your help to provide meals and snacks, and to greet residents in the evenings. We also need men to stay overnight. Our WE Shelter Coordinators will be in the Eagle’s Nest the next few Sundays after worship to give more information and answer questions. Please check out the Amazon Wishlist for supply donations. Please click the links below to read volunteer descriptions and to volunteer.
