Post Christmas

Our hope is that your Christmas was blessed and you celebrated Jesus, the reason for the season!

JANUARY SERIES
This next series is made for most of us who know we don’t do Christianity right.  We don’t meet the standard of what people say we are supposed to be.  Join us as we see how Jesus loves us in our brokenness, imperfections, and basic messiness as we walk through life with him.

SOUP, SALAD, & PIE LUNCHEON
Nothing is better than a luncheon indoors with friends from Celebration during the winter!  Join us January 13 after church.  Sign up at the info booth to bring an item!  This is one of the best meals you will ever get!
