This Sunday

Sunday, December 3rd
9:00am & 10:45am

Hey folks!

There are so many great things happening in The Jar this month that I want to make sure you know of.

We are having a winter baptism! On December 17th, we're going to be having a Baptism Celebration! Baptism is an outward sign of an inward decision to follow Jesus. So if you have made that decision, we want to invite you to be baptized. You don't have to be perfect, you just have to be willing to start your journey with Jesus. If you're thinking about getting baptized, you can join us for the baptism class. We will have a baptism class right after the 2nd celebration in the Community Room. We'll have lunch and childcare provided. You can sign up here.

Santa will be here soon! The Big Man will be at The Civic on Saturday December 16th from 9-11am for our Donuts with Santa event. Everything is FREE so we want you to bring your kids and invite your friends! Get a donut, do a craft, and get your picture with Santa.

Lastly, join us this Christmas season as dive into a new series -- Weird Christmas! Do you know anyone who has ever had a “normal” Christmas? For most of us, something happens at Christmas to make it “weird.” Just ask the Griswalds! Someone does something or says something or something strange occurs and all of a sudden – Weird Christmas!  Even the very first Christmas was not exempt from this.  This week we will look at the first Christmas through the lens of Joseph... and man was it weird for him!

So I hope to see you this Sunday in the civic at 9 or 10:45 in the Civic! Have a great weekend everyone!

Christmas Eve Celebrations
We want to invite all of you to our Christmas Eve Celebrations on December 24th. We will meet at our regular times, 9 and 10:45 for worship, a Christmas teaching, and a special performance from our JarKids kiddos! Afterwards, you can join us for hot chocolate and cookies and take a picture at the photobooth. We'll also be doing our traditional Donut Blitz where we take a box of donuts to someone working on Christmas Eve to show them God's love. So be sure to join us and invite a friend!
