Plan to spend some time with your Christian family this Christmas
CLWR’s Gifts from the Heart is now available! Your gifts have the power to change lives this Christmas! Share God’s love with the world and make a meaningful difference in the lives of others. Pick up a copy in the narthex.
Save those stamps! Since many of us will be receiving Christmas cards, please save the stamps and deposit them in the box above the coat rack. The stamps are sold and that enables Bibles to be purchased for prison ministry.
In your prayers, please remember all of our elderly and shut-in friends and family as they contend with the challenges of poor health. Pray for the faithful preaching of the Good News of God’s sending His Son into our world to be our Saviour. And pray for those who travel, those who are ill or caring for ailing loved ones, those who struggle with mental illness, those who mourn, those who are unemployed – people who need our prayers at all times, but especially during the holiday season which they find difficult
