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!
Taintor Community Church has rescheduled their Drive Thru Live Nativity to Sunday, December 21 from 5-8pm. Free will donation, proceeds go toward 2026 Mission to Honduras.
