Matthew 18:10-14
As the countdown to Christmas decreases in days, often times our anxiety and stress increase which can cause us to grow complacent and forget what Christmas is all about. Complacency doesn't just happen at Christmas though! Throughout the year we are given opportunities to show Christ's compassion to the world and often times we are too busy, too stressed, or too determined in what we believe is more important work. This Sunday we will look at the story of the shepherd who made the bold, countercultural choice and left the 99 in search of the 1; and we will remember the bold countercultural compassion of Christ! Hope to see you on Sunday!
This December 16% of all our offerings will be split amongst four worthy ministries. Over the past three weeks you heard about: our local ministry of Ministries Unlimited, our regional ministry of the New Room Church, and our national outreach of Hurricane Relief. This week we and draw your attention to our fourth recipients: our national ministry highlight is Compassion International! This Sunday come and learn how you can change the life of a child!
