This week we welcome Ron Bryan to fill the pulpit.
We appreciate all that our staff does here at Lynnville Friends Church all year long. We would like to bless them once again this year with a yearend gift of appreciation. Please take the opportunity to enclose a monetary gift in the offering plate before Dec. 21. If you would like your gift to be included on your giving statement, please make your check out to the church, otherwise make you check out to the individual or give cash. Thank you. - Lynnville Friends Elders
Sunday, December 21st Elders will serve lunch starting at 11:30.
Starting this Sunday, adult Sunday school class will be doing the series Advent by J.D. Greear. The description on RightNow Media says this: The Christmas story, or Advent, is more than a sentimental myth or a quiet manger scene we use to decorate our living rooms. The Christmas story is the good news of God entering into the darkness of our world. Join J.D. Greear in this four-session series as he takes a deeper look at Jesus as Emmanuel, our Wonderful Counselor, the Everlasting Father, and the great I Am. When you know Jesus, you will realize Christmas is more than a nice story-the arrival of Jesus changes everything. We invite you to join us and learn more about the names of Jesus!
