Clear you calendars for the first three Wednesday nights in December (December 4th, 11th, and 18th) as we invite you to our midweek Advent dinner and services where the theme is, "Light Unquenchable." Over these dinners (see below for the outrageous menus) and services we'll be having truly unique and powerful moments together as a congregation that celebrate the gift of light and how it connects Jesus to us. Dinner is at 6:00pm and the church service will be at 7:00pm each week. During dinner time on December 4th, we'll also have a special time of lighting the tree in front of Word of Life. You won't want to miss it.

Our Children's Christmas Program this year is entitled, "Christmasopoly," and you won't want to miss this interactive, festive, humorous, and powerful journey of discovering and renewing our emphasis on what Christmas is really about. Join us at 9am on Sunday, December 22nd for a time of joy through the work of our youth, congregational singing, and other fun elements to set the stage for a great Christmas!

PLEASE NOTE: This is not our Preschool Children's Christmas Program. That is on Thursday, December 19th.

Does God restrict people in their actions? As we conclude 2024, you're invited to think about closure and new beginnings, where God has taken you and where He can move you in the days ahead. Church services are at 9:00am each Sunday.

You're invited to come and worship at Word of Life in the New Year as iconic enemies in the Bible are explored and their examples give us pause to consider our own lives. This four-week series will remind you of the sobering reality of evil in our world but how our God helps us overcome and live in His mercy. Weekly topics (and enemies) will be:

*January 5th - The Hardened Heart of Pharaoh (Exodus 7:1-5)

*January 12th - The Betrayal of Judas (Matthew 26:14-16, 47-50)

*January 19th - The Mockery of Goliath (1 Samuel 17:41-47)

*January 26th - The Despair of Satan (Revelation 20:7-10)
