For Teachers and Parents,

This weekend's services are going to be unique.  Here are a couple of things to help you, your family and your class worship the LORD.

    1. All 1st through 3rd graders are going into the service WITH PARENTS for the first two Christmas songs and Pastor Dave's reading of the Christmas story.
    2. Kindergarten and younger will have their classes in their assigned rooms OR they can go into the auditorium WITH PARENTS for the first two Christmas songs and the Christmas story.
  3. After LISTENING TO PASTOR DAVE read from the Jesus Storybook Bible, all the children 3rd grade and younger will be dismissed to children's area for their lesson time.
  4. TEACHERS CLICK HERE for more about the special schedule for this weekend's class times.
This Sunday's lesson is "The Son of Man is identified in the Temple."
It is a great reminder that Jesus did not stay in the manger.

Jesus grew.  "Jesus increased in wisdom and in stature and in favor with God and man" (Luke 5:52).

Jesus died for our sins.  "You know that he appeared in order to take away sins, and in him there is no sin."  1 John 3:5

Jesus rose from the dead.  "And this is the testimony, that God gave us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.   Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life."  1 John 5:11-12.

Jesus is with God and is returning one day!!


Here is a Christmas breakdown of this week's verses
2 years old through Kindergarten's verse is 1 John 1:8

If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
Christmas truths:
  Jesus came because we have a sin problem.
  Jesus came to share, show and be the truth the world needs.

1st through 5th grade verse is 1 John 1:9

If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
Christmas truth
  Jesus came as THE solution for our sin problem.
