Christmas Schedule--On December 21 & 28, there will be no Sunday School. First service will be at 8:30am and second service at 10:15am.
Christmas Eve Candlelight Service--Please join us this Christmas Eve as we celebrate the Word became flesh in John 1. The service will begin at 6:30 with serving of cookies and hot chocolate. Childcare will be provided.
Life Groups--If you have not yet joined a LIFEGroup, now would be the perfect time to sign up. Groups will be starting up in full force again after the first of the year, and since we’ll be starting into a new book (Leviticus) it would be a perfect time to join in. If you are interested, simply tear off the portion in the bulletin and list your contact information and best available nights (anything but Monday or Saturday). Then, either place the sheet in the offering plate or place it on the main desk in the office. Someone will then contact you. It’s that easy!
Biblical Counseling--Would you like to be better prepared to give brothers/sisters in Christ Biblically sound advice? Would you like to search the Scriptures to help you weed out all the noise from a secular society? Would you like to grow in the knowledge of the Scriptures and gain the wisdom to see how it impacts your daily living? Steve Short at Beamsville Christian Church is offering an excellent class on Biblical Counseling. The class will meet every other Thursday evening, starting January 22nd. If you are interested, grab a brochure off the wooden table. Scholarships are available from our church to help offset cost. (Contact the church office if interested.)

ATTENTION LADIES--Overnight Retreat on April 17 & 18, at The Golden Eagle Retreat Center, Palestine, OH. See fliers on table in narthex for more details.
Attention All Men--Join us Saturday, December 20 at 7:00am as we start into our new series. Danny will be speaking on the theme “Becoming a Man of the Word”. A full breakfast will also be provided. Hope to see you there.
Baptism--A few people have expressed their interest in obeying the Lord through water baptism. If you have trusted Christ as your personal Lord and Savior but have not followed through with water baptism, please contact the office to set up an appointment.
Elder Leadership--As we mentioned in Sunday School about a month ago, the Scripture does not teach a distinction between elder and pastor. Therefore, it is our desire as elders to serve the church body as a team of pastors. Also, we realize that having two pastors (Jason Bradshaw & Matt Strader) who are not considered elders is probably inconsistent too. In order to be more Biblically consistent, we are presenting Matt and Jason before the church for “elder review.” Please examine 1 Timothy 3 and Titus 1 in light of their lives. Then, speak to an elder about their shepherding.
Grace’s Snow Policy--Wondering what we will do in case of a major snowfall? Our current policy is, unless there is a Level 3 warning out (making it illegal to travel on the roads) we will meet here for those who can make it. If we make any changes or cancellations, we’ll do our best to get it posted on local media outlets, but a few little flurries aren’t going to scare us away. Besides, if we all got snowed in at the church, can you think of a better place to get stuck?
SHAKE Postal Service: Let the youth group help you deliver your Christmas cards. For a recommended donation of $5, we’ll deliver your cards for you (to anyone in the church body). This way, you can support the youth group, and save on postage at the same time!!! Drop-off box is in the narthex.
