DECEMBER

LET EVERY HEART PREPARE HIM ROOM: Dec. 3, 10 & 17 at 9:30 & 11:00 am
There is a family in the Christmas story that is often overlooked. You won’t find them in a Nativity set, but their story prepares the way for Jesus. In this series, we’re looking at the story of Zechariah, Elizabeth, and their miracle baby, John. Their story can inspire us to make room for God to work in our lives this holiday season.

SPECIAL CHRISTMAS EVENTS
As we usher in Christmas, we have a whole month of options for a fun and meaningful holiday season:
- Christmas Sweater Sunday: December 10
- Christmas Choir & Kids Skit on Stage: December 17 .
- Network Christmas Cookie Care Package Project: December 17
- Christmas Eve Candlelight Services: December 24 at 9:30 am, 11:00 am or 5:00 pm

CHRISTMAS EVE CANDLELIGHT SERVICES
We have 3 identical Christmas Candlelight Services on December 24 at 9:30 am, 11:00 am & 5:00 pm. We will also have childcare for nursery & toddlers at the morning services. This is a great opportunity to invite someone to join you at Journey Church.
