Sunday School & Bible Class will be held beforehand at 9:00 am, with a joint opening for both groups in our Fellowship Hall.

Into the little Bethlehem town enters the strength of the Lord, and His name is Jesus. Christ comes as a frail infant to accomplish the will of His Father in heaven - to mature & become the divine sacrificial offering for sinners. He is the innocent to be slain. We are the guilty to be acquitted by His mercy. There can be no greater confession for the whole church but to respond with Mary, “My soul magnifies the Lord.” (1 Samuel 2:1b, 2, 5b–7 & Luke 1:46b–47; Micah 5:2-5a; Hebrews 10:5-10; Luke 1:39-45)
