You do not want to miss this!

Our Christmas Services are coming up on December 22nd at 7pm, December 23rd at 7pm and December 24th at 4pm and 6pm. Think about someone you know that doesn’t normally attend church and invite them to one of these service times. It is a great opportunity to reach out to that friend and it might just change their life for eternity.

I am looking forward to celebrating the simple message of Christmas with you!

“Having brought the apostles, they made them appear before the Sanhedrin to be questioned by the high priest. ‘We gave you strict orders not to teach in this name,’ he said.

‘Yet you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching and are determined to make us guilty of this man’s blood.’ Peter and the other apostles replied: ‘We must obey God rather than

men! The God of our fathers raised Jesus from the dead – whom you had killed by hanging him on a tree. God exalted Him to his own right hand as Prince and Savior that He might

give repentance and forgiveness of sins to Israel. We are witnesses of these things, and so is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who obey Him.’”

“When they heard this, they were furious and wanted to put them to death. But a Pharisee named Gamaliel, a teacher of the law, who was honored by all the people, stood up in the Sanhedrin and ordered that the men be put outside for a little while…’I advise you: Leave these men alone! Let them go! For if their purpose or activity is of human origin, it will fail.

But if it is from God, you will not be able to stop these men; you will only find yourselves fighting against God.’ His speech persuaded them. They called the apostles in and had

them flogged. Then they ordered them not to speak in the name of Jesus…” – Acts 5:27-34, 38-40 (NIV)
