Dec 22, 2019 - CHRISTMAS PRESENCE: The Greatest Present Ever Given
‘Tis the season… the season for stress from impacted schedules, calorie-packed meals, minor home refurbishing with Christmas decor, and debt inducing shopping lists!

Dec 15, 2019 - 8:55am - CHRISTMAS PRESENCE: Letting Go of Control
This message is from Gary at the 8:55am service. How many of you would say that there's at least one area of your life, maybe more, that you love to control? It seems this season especially drives many of us to white-knuckle our way through - but then we miss out on the awe, distracted by our own need to have things just so. This Sunday in our Advent series, we'll find the antidote to the need to control as we look at Mary's role in the Christmas story. Get a sneak peek in Luke 1:26-38!
