E-BULLETIN

Sunday, December 15, 2024

Have you ever waited for something for so long that you began to doubt it would ever happen? The people of Israel waited centuries for the coming of their promised Messiah. In the birth of Jesus, that long-awaited hope was realized, showing that God is always faithful to His promises. The hope that sustained Israel during dark times is the same hope that can sustain us today. Just as they hoped for His first coming, we now wait for His second coming with the assurance that God's promises never fail. We are invited to trust in God's timing and to live in the confident hope that the future is secure in His hands. As we reflect on the hope fulfilled in the manger, we will be encouraged to cling to the promises of God, knowing that just as He was faithful then, He will be faithful now.


WELCOME!

Whether you are here for the first time or the fourth time, we'd love to connect with you and help you get oriented and find your place within our church. As a bonus, we will donate $5 for every new connection we receive to a charity that we are passionate about supporting. Currently, we are supporting Flow Without Bounds Ministries, a local outreach serving the Kin Village and Trinity Square neighborhoods. Your participation helps support their mission to transform lives through practical care, mentorship, and sharing the love of Jesus Christ.


CHILDREN'S DISCIPLESHIPSHIP PROGRAM

We are committed to equipping families with lessons and tools to help children look to God for answers. Here’s how we engage your children during the service:


Service Schedule: Please check in your child at the desk upstairs before the service. Children stay with their families for the first 15 minutes of the service and are then dismissed to their classes.


Power Up! (Birth - Grade 5):

  • Pre-School Program (18 months - 3 years): Room 3 is now open for toddlers, led by Ms. Verna and other leaders. During the “What’s Happening in Power Up!?” moment, please accompany your toddler to the front of the sanctuary, and then to Room 3 for their class. Parents will wait outside while children enter the classroom.
  • School Aged Program (Kindergarten - Grade 5): This program remains the same for kindergarten to grade 5. Children will be dismissed ~15 minutes after the service starts, following the “What’s Happening in Power Up!?” moment. Learn more >>
  • Nursery & Parent Supervision (Under 18 months and others who need it): Room 4 and the lobby are open for parents who wish to stay with their younger children or those who need extra supervision, with livestream of the service.


Extension (Gr. 6 - 8):

  • Youth typically head downstairs to Room 10 after dismissal (~15 minutes into the service). However, on the first Sunday of each month (Communion Sunday), Youth will remain in the service. Learn more >>



Grades 9 and above stay in the service every Sunday.
