CHRISTMAS OUTREACH PARTIES

- Desserts for Ferguson (Dec. 17)
- Finger foods/appetizers for Mel Trotter (Dec. 13)
- Gifts (especially for men or gender neutral – NEED BY DECEMBER 3)
- Hosts for Mel Trotter (this is just being friendly) (Dec. 13)

CITY OF ANGELS
On Sunday, December 10, at 9:15 a.m. and 11:00 a.m. Kid City will present City of Angels, our annual children’s Christmas production. Take a journey with our kids as they discover that even when things seem hopeless, there are always angels watching over us pointing to salvation through Jesus’ birth!
BLUE CHRISTMAS
On Sunday, December 10 at 7:00 p.m. we will host our Blue Christmas service as a time of quiet reflection as we approach Christmas. It is a time of prayer to acknowledge griefs and losses, which can often be more difficult in this season.
CHRISTMAS EVE:
The Christmas Wish Christmas Eve Production
What to know about Christmas Eve:
- We will have our regular two morning services (NO evening service!)
- We will have our annual Christmas Eve production complete with shepherds, angels, costumes, and music for the retelling of the greatest story ever told!
- Invite friends!
- We are inviting Heartside neighbors to join us for a free Christmas Eve lunch after the 11:00 a.m. service. You won’t want to miss this special time of sharing worship of Jesus and neighborly love with each other!
