MEETING FIRST SUNDAYS EACH MONTH

Playing an instrument is a great tool for worshiping the Lord and spending time in His presence! A workshop is intended to benefit players at almost any level, ages 9-99, begins on March 2nd in the Sanctuary from 12:15-1:00PM. Bring your guitar we’ll spend most of our time playing along with basic 4 chord progressions in 2-3 different keys:

Beginner? Focus on just hitting the standard chords.

Have the basics mastered? Use the provided chord sheet to choose different challenging ways to play those same chords in a more expressive way.

Contact Andy Combs, Director of Worship Ministries, if you have questions.

Start or Begin a Tradition – Come Let Us Adore Him

Come as you are for our Christmas Eve Candlelight Service at 5:00 PM on Tuesday, the 24th: dressed for photos or bring your kids in pajamas. Bring your family and friends to sing the carols and hear the story once again of when Hope came as a human and lived among us.

Then stand in the darkness as the first candle is lit and see it slowly spread across the room, candle to candle. Until at last, enveloped in the glow, we remember when The Light came into the world and pierced the darkness.

Invite friends and family with the postcards available in the lobby.

If you are unable to attend, please join us for the livestream.
