We often use the word Joy in conjunction with Christmas, but what is true Joy? As we zip through the internet, gleaning gifts to be sent via Amazon prime or walk through department stores with their holiday displays we see the picture of happiness that our culture uses interchangeably with joy. As we celebrate the third week in Advent, we remember that Jesus brings true joy into the world.  He causes this Joy to well up from inside of us to shine no matter what the circumstance might be in our lives.  This Sunday morning our children lead us in the Christmas story, so rejoice!

Come and destress with us on December 15th as we focus upon the real reason for the season.  Be part of the interactive Sunday School Christmas telling and leave with JOY!!  We will have one service then and throughout the year at 10:00 a.m.  Our liturgy will be the 4th Setting of the Lutheran Service Book.  The Lord’s Supper will be celebrated in our worship.  If you are visiting with us, please talk to Pastor Craig before the service if you wish to receive Christ’s body and blood.  Sunday School  will be part of our worship together.  Following worship we enjoy the sweet treats of Coffee Fellowship as we share and care for each other.  Pastor Clancy’s Zoom Bible Study will resume after Christmas.  Please check the website for Day, Time and Zoom Link in the New Year.  Welcome to the family because we are all about building:
