Path to Christmas Volunteer Opportunities
We are in need of volunteers to join the team as we begin to prepare and host our annual "Path to Christmas" - outdoor Live Nativity event! It takes many hands to make this happen, and we would love for you to be part of this incredible event. We’re looking for volunteers to help with all sorts of things, such as: set design/props, set up/tear down, gift bag assemblers, volunteer dinner helpers, and silent actors. We could also use some donations such as wrapped candy, firewood, and fire pits to borrow! Click HERE to let us know what you want to help with or visit our table in the lobby on Sunday!

Journey to Christmas Class
Beginning September 22
Mondays | 6:30pm – 8:30pm
Classroom 159
We celebrate Christmas every year and get excited about the fun and family, and perhaps become stressed about everything we need to do. In this 10-week class, we’ll examine and discuss everything God prepared, planned, and accomplished for His Son to arrive as His gift to us. You will enjoy this class whether you’re someone seeking answers to the reality of God and His love for us or if you’re a long time Christ follower who has found that digging into the depths of the Scriptures and historic background strengthens your relationship and walk with God. It is our hope that after this class, you will be prepared to celebrate Christmas with greater understanding, gratitude, wonder and worship of the Lord and what He has done to send our Savior to us. This class is for high school aged and up. You can sign up for this class HERE or at the Grouplife counter.
