“I Am The Resurrection and The Life.” John 11:25-26
PROVERBS 19:17
“Whoever is kind to the poor lends to the LORD, and he will reward them for what they have done.”
Sometimes we need a little extra incentive to remind ourselves to be generous. Knowing that God will reward our compassion and kindness towards the less fortunate can be just that!
We’ve started a advent devtional series entitled “Unwrapping the name of Jesus” Check out our Facebook pages and follow along with us for each day of advent.

Lincoln School’s first day!
Here’s a Sermon Snippet from Pastor Cornell’s Sunday message entitled: The One Who Is Faithful To His Word. In our day and time everyone has an opinion, and everyone is fighting for power. The question then becomes “Who is in charge.”
What is Church Involvement?
Church involvement is evidence that you're a Christian. It also helps keep you from abandoning the faith. According to the author of Hebrews, the antidote to developing an "unbelieving heart" that leads you "to fall away from the living God" is to "exhort one another" (Hebrews 3:12) -- an activity that occurs most prominently in the church. BE APART OF A FAMILY OF FAITH!

How to focus on Christ during Advent
Most Christians agree that Christmas is all about Jesus, yet most of us spend little time preparing our hearts to celebrate Him. Why is this? Partly because we don’t know how.
In Unwrapping the Names of Jesus, Asheritah Ciuciu leads readers through the four weeks of Advent (Hope, Preparation, Joy, and Love). Each week:
Begins with an interactive family devotional that equips readers to celebrate Advent together
Offers five daily reflections that focus on that week's name of Jesus
Includes suggestions for fun-filled family activities or service projects
This devotional can be used by readers in their own personal worship times or as a tool to engage in family worship during the busy holiday season. Either way, participants will gain a greater sense of awe and wonder at who Jesus is.
By focusing on the person and character of Jesus throughout the Advent season, readers will prepare their hearts so that when they admire the live nativity, sit in the candlelight service, or wake up on Christian morning, they can join the faithful who sing from the bottom of their hearts, "O come, let us adore Him, Christ the Lord!"

Every Sunday our Adult Bible Class will be beginning a study of the book of Romans. The class meets at 9:00 AM in room 204. We welcome everyone to this class. Romans is a letter that Paul wrote with a step-by-step explanation of the gospel of Jesus Christ. If you want to know how the gospel fits together, or would like to review how it applies to you, this is a great opportunity. Come and join our friendly and supportive class as we make this journey together.
The Lord has blessed us to begin renovating our building. The roofs have begun and as a Church we agreed to finish financing the last $12,000 needed by raising weekly offerings. Let’s continue to be faithful to our vow.
