On December 3rd and 10th, gift tags will be availble at church for requested presents. Presents will need to be returned to church by December 17th in order to get them to families on time for Christmas.

Incarnation
by Sheila Bertrand

Eternal became time - bound

Lying in a trough.

Almighty became human

To show us His great love.

 

He who formed the Universe, 

who stretched out all the skies,

He who sprinkled stars in space

Now, helpless, there He lies.

 

Once enthroned in the Heavens, 

The earth His footstool then,

He cannot take a single step,

Who once walked on the wind.

 

The everlasting Word of God,

Speechless as a babe; 

The God who filled up all of space,

Confined now in a cave.

 

Who formed the hairs on every head

Suddenly can bleed.

The God by Whom all things were made

Now suffers want and need.

 

He blew life into everyone;

Now He takes His first breath.

Immortal God, the Timeless One,

Can now feel pain and death.

 

Oh, how much He loves us!

How much He condescends

To come down from His lofty throne

To be my Savior and my Friend!

Events

A huge thank you to everyone who helped with our most recent Service Sunday! Thanks to you we were able to fill dozens of toiletry bags and tie off a small mountain of quilts for Bags of Love to distribute to local children experiencing crisis.

Recent Mission Trip to Alaska

This summer we sent a team of volunteers to Seward, Alaska to work with a Non-Profit called “North of Hope”.  We helped restore a tribal burial ground for children that had fallen into disrepair and had been desecrated by some local people. We also did some much needed repairs on the homes of several tribal elders in the area. We forged some lasting friendships and got to participate in racial reconciliation and healing! We’re gonna do that again!!
