Assembly of God
Service/Gathering Times:
Sunday morning at 10:30 in Clubhouse 3, Room 2; Wednesday morning Bible study at 10 in Clubhouse 3, Room 2. The Hymn Sing is this Sunday, Dec. 18, at 6 p.m. in the Clubhouse 3 Lobby.
Sermon for this week:
Grandparents, great aunts and uncles, and other elder family members are often the best models of demonstrating unconditional love when it comes to gift-giving. Even if little Bubba or Susie-Q have earned their way to the “Naughty List,” these dear family members will make sure that there are special things under the Christmas tree and special treats to enjoy even if the child’s behavior or attitude has been less than desirable or they haven’t pursued a relationship with the elder family member.
Christmas is a good time to ponder the question why God chose to give the perfect gift— his son Jesus—to all people of the earth, those who recognize and acknowledge the wonderful gift, and even those who do not. Why would God do that?
Pastor Chuck Franco will bring his sermon, “Because God Loved Us,” from Romans 8:31-39, on Sunday, Dec. 18. It is because of God’s extravagant love that Jesus came to earth that holy night. Discover the gift of God’s love with other friends and family members this Christmas. Later at 6 p.m. people can enjoy traditional Christmas music and fellowship at the Christmas-themed hymn sing.
Bible Study: The study in Titus was the last study for this year. The Bible study will be on break for the holidays from Dec. 21-28 and resume Wednesday, Jan. 4.
