Assembly of God
Jesus’ coming brought radical change. His paradoxical teaching and example confounded religious authorities and conventional thought. He was born in humble surroundings, to ordinary people, yet claimed to be the Son of God. He taught with authority and challenged the Pharisees, performed miracles and then washed his disciples’ feet. These paradoxes were hard to reconcile. But selfsacrificing, untarnished love doesn’t always make sense. Pastor Chuck Franco will preach a message titled “The Servant Love of Jesus,” from Luke 2:1-7 and Philippians 2:5-11, on Sunday, Dec. 17. A Christmas-themed Hymn Sing will be held that day at 6 p.m. in the Clubhouse 3 Lobby. All residents are invited to sing carols, enjoy a special musical guest, and have great fellowship.
Session two of the new Bible study series, “The Rock, the Road, and the Rabbi,” takes students to “Galilee: The Early Years” on Wednesday, Dec. 20 at 10 a.m. Host Kathy Lee Gifford and teacher Rabbi Jason Sobel will lead the group through the sites where Jesus spent his formative years. For those who have never been to the Holy Land, this is the next best thing. Hearts will be touched and minds awakened.
Assembly of God meets Sundays at 10:30 a.m. in Clubhouse 3, Room 2. The Wednesday Bible study is at 10 a.m. in Clubhouse 3, Room 2.
