Worth the Wait
ADVENT SERIES
Christmas is a season of waiting. We wait in long lines at stores while shopping for the holidays, people wait for guests to arrive at Christmas parties, parents wait for university students to come home at Christmas break and excited young children wait for Mom and Dad to get out of bed on Christmas morning to open gifts!
The word “Advent” simply means “coming” or “arrival.” Throughout history the world has been waiting for the arrival of Someone who would make right and that has been made wrong by sin.
At Christmas we celebrate that the One we’ve been waiting for all along has arrived in Jesus Christ! Isaiah 9:6 says, “For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.”
Join us and invite a friend for our Advent series as we rejoice in the hope of Christmas! Jesus The Light of the World is the One we’ve been waiting for to conquer the darkness in the world and to fill our lives with love, peace and joy!
Jesus is everything you’ve been waiting for, and he is still “Worth the Wait!”

Christmas Toy & Food Drive
We are having a Food and Toy Drive to help families this Christmas season. You can bring non-perishable food items now and throughout the month of December or a new unwrapped toy before December 10 and place it in the wrapped boxes that are located at all of our sites. We will be partnering with the Salvation Army to donate toys for their hamper program. This helps us to be known by love in the community where God has placed us.
