Holiday Dinner Circa 1816 – December 4th

We celebrate the beginning of a new year every Advent.  As we press forward toward the future vision God is revealing and accomplishing through our church, we will gather as a communion for a Holiday Dinner circa 1816.  This location at 126 Coming Street was consecrated a Church for the Lord’s Glory in 1816.  In gratitude for the blessing of our location and the opportunities to minister the Gospel our corner provides today we will remember our beginning with a grand “period” themed meal of wild game, and early American (southern) dishes common to the holiday expression of those who planted the parish we so enjoy today.

Help us prepare this Historic Feast. View the Menu and Recipes.

Following the meal there will be an Acts in Action presentation as we prepare for the year ahead.

Children are invited to a time of Christmas preparation and pageant rehearsal in the church.  Nursery Ministry will be offered during the presentation.

Matthew Pridgen, to Speak Nov 13th

http://fromfolly.com/

FROM FOLLY is the amazing true story of a 21-year-old college student’s survival in the ocean following a failed suicide attempt. Matthew’s plan was to swim out as far as he could into the Atlantic Ocean so that even if he wanted to turn back at the last minute, it would be too late. Yet when the time came to drown himself, he recognized something that would change him forever. At the brink of death, he finally saw the value of life.

Matthew will be with us at each service to share his story 8:00, 9:15 and 11:15 am November 13th.

There will be a book signing following the services.  The Book is an inspiring story of God’s relentless pursuit of an extremely “lost sheep.”

Matt will join 6th-12th grade students and their family’s for lunch at 12:30pm in the Wellbrock Hall.

During the sermon time children under 6th grade will be participating in a Service Learning Project for the Seafarer Ministry.
