UGLY SWEATER SUNDAY! Encourage your kids to wear their festive Christmas sweaters to Sunday school this Sunday, 12/21!
This week we’ll dive into the incredible story of Jesus’ birth in Luke 2:1-20! Instead of a palace, Jesus arrived in a humble manger—but His entrance was anything but ordinary. God sent brilliant angels to declare the news to a group of shepherds in the nearby fields. And once they saw the baby king, they couldn’t help but spread the good news wherever they went. This Sunday, the kids will discover that God gave us Jesus, the greatest gift!
Island Kids 2s & 3s and 4s & 5s:
December memory verse: “God loved the world so much that he gave his only Son.” John 3:16 GNT
Island Kids 1st – 5th Grade:
December memory verse: “Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you. He is the Messiah, the Lord.” Luke 2:11, NIrV
Thank you, church
This is usually the season when we highlight giving opportunities through our Encounter campaign. This year, we are choosing a different path. Instead of launching new projects in 2026, we are focusing on finishing what we have begun, especially the West Entrance renovation. It is a major undertaking, and we want to complete it with excellence.
Even though we are pausing new initiatives, the Encounter Fund remains open for those who would like to give toward future ministry expansion, discipleship efforts, and creating inviting spaces for people to meet Jesus. Think of this year as laying a foundation for the next season of growth. Click here if you wish to give to the Encounter fund.
This is also the time when we meet important benevolence needs within our church family. We help with urgent bills and provide modest Christmas gifts for families who might otherwise go without. If you feel led to give, your generosity will have a meaningful and immediate impact. Click here if you want to give to the Benevolence Fund.
