Memory Verse – John 14:27– “Peace is what I leave with you; it is my own peace that I give you. I do not give it as the world does. Do not be worried and upset; do not be afraid.”

MEAL & MOVIE – December 11th: “God’s Not Dead 3” – pt 1. A deadly fire rips through St. James Church, devastating the congregation and Reverend Dave. Adjoining Hadleigh University uses the tragedy to kick the congregation off-campus. The escalating controversy creates a dilemma for the small church—can Christians fight for their rights and be the light for Christ at the same time? Is God really good all the time? Where is God when bad things happen? Can Christ really heal the brokenhearted?
Mission of the Month – December – Salvation Army – Doing the Most Good since 1865 – The Salvation Army meets human need wherever, whenever, and however we can. For over 100 years The Salvation Army’s Adult Rehabilitation Centers have provided spiritual, social, and emotional assistance for men and women who have lost the ability to cope with their problems and provide for themselves. Centers offers residential housing, work, and group and individual therapy, all in a clean, wholesome environment. The physical and spiritual care that program participants receive prepares them to re-enter society and return to gainful employment. Many of those who have been rehabilitated are reunited with their families and resume a normal life.
The Salvation Army, an international movement, is an evangelical part of the universal Christian Church. Its message is based on the Bible. Its ministry is motivated by the love of God. Its mission is to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ and to meet human needs in His name without discrimination.
