Merry Christmas!!!

Merry Christmas!
Over the next few weeks the grade 5-7 student will be in the adult service to participate in the Christmas celebration.
I hope you have a great holiday and that you have the opportunity to spend time with family and enjoy the snow!
Remember the meaning of Christmas and the greatest gift we've ever received, Christ!

Sunday December 14

This Sunday we talked about Choosing Loyalty.

Loyalty requires personal sacrifice.

The movie clips from Sunday:

The bible verses we looked at are: 1 Chronicles 29:17-19; Proverbs 18:24; Ecclesiastes 4:9-12; John 15:13

We discussed wben we have found it difficult to be loyal to Jesus, how it made us and others feel when we are not loyal, what choices we need to make in order to be loyal to Jesus and what grace is.

Next Time: Choosing Disunity

Disunity leads to defeat.
