In the same region there were some shepherds staying out in the fields and keeping watch over their flock at night. And an angel of the Lord suddenly stood near them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them; and they were terribly frightened. And so the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid; for behold, I bring you good news of great joy which will be for all the people; for today in the city of David there has been born for you a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. — Luke 2:8-11 (NASV)

SOCK-IT-TO-ME MISSION

Bernie Baluta at McKinney Clinic has contacted us regarding a need for the people served by the clinic. She asks if we would collect white crew socks (only this kind, please – it makes it easier to pass out only one style) and deodorant. The box at the front of the church is where you […]

UPDATE ON AUTOMATIC ONTRIBUTIONS

Several members have taken advantage of this method to ensure their offering is given as they planned. While there are those who use the service regularly, others like to just have it for a specific circumstance, such as while they are on vacation, and then go back to their usual offering practice.

Well, plenty of people took that song […]
