Reminders and Announcements:

Christmas Card Exchange
This is the last week for our annual Christmas Card Exchange. If you signed up to participate be sure to bring your cards this week and take your received cards home with you after service.

A Merry Connection Christmas
THIS Sunday, December 14th, starting at 10am, we're celebrating a Merry Connection Christmas! We'll start our Sunday service with a time to worship our Savior! —followed by a funny, relatable skit that leads into a short sermon. Our Connection Kids and 29:ELEVEN youth group will bring the service to a close with a short program.

THEN, after all of that, join us for a catered holiday meal in the Fellowship Hall! 
(Yes, a meal where you don’t have to bring anything and you don’t have to feel bad if you forgot—just show up and eat!) We encourage you to invite your friends and family. This is a great opportunity to introduce someone new to the church!

Ugly Christmas Sweater Sunday
Next Sunday, December 21st, is your chance to show off your ugliest Christmas sweater at church! We can't wait to see everyone's Christmas fashion! 

Christmas Eve Candlelight Service
We hope you'll join us on Christmas Eve, December 24th, at 6pm for a special candlelight service. This is such an intimate and meaningful way to remember Jesus during this busy season. We know you'll be blessed by making room in your holiday plans to attend.

Secret Sisters
As we get closer to the end of the year, this year's Secret Sisters is almost wrapping up. If you participated this year be sure to reveal yourself to your secret sister by Christmas.
