Sat 21 Nov 2009 9:00 AM St. Jude presents "Give thanks. Walk."
The simple act of walking is something many take for granted everyday. No one knows that more than Craig and Katie Witsoe and Doug Brooks. The Witsoes’ 4-year-old son, Sean is a patient at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital®, suffering from medulloblastoma, a pediatric brain tumor that left him without the ability to walk. After several surgeries to remove the tumor and intensive treatments, Sean can now take those steps that his parents never thought they would see again. Doug Brooks, president and CEO of Brinker International (Chili’s® Grill & Bar, On The Border Mexican Grill & Cantina®, Maggiano’s Little Italy®) also cherishes the ability to walk again, after a car hit him while running, leaving him with an amputated left leg. Through the help of a prosthetic leg, Doug can return to his normal and active lifestyle. The Witsoes, Doug and Chili’s Grill & Bar, are wholeheartedly supporting the upcoming, Give thanks.

Truly a holiday classic!

A Night in Bethlehem Live Nativity The story of the birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ is familiar to many, as books, TV programs, radio shows, and songs for years have shared Mary’s journey to Bethlehem and much of what followed. However, it is not everyday that we get the opportunity to truly experience the spirit that must have filled the air on the night that our Lord entered this earth. Chisholm Baptist Church would like to extend an invitation for you to join them to share “A Night in Bethlehem.” This Live Nativity scene, complete with animals, elaborate costumes, live narration, and singing will take you back in time and fill your heart with the warmth and hope given to us through the birth of Christ and his promise of salvation.

Sun 20 Dec 2009 6:30 PM Gloria Deo
A service of Lessons and Carols by Benjamin Harlan Presented by Grace Bible Church Sanctuary Choir The traditional Festival of Lessons and Carols was first held on Christmas Eve in 1918 at King’s College in Cambridge, England. The next year the Order of Service was revised and from then on the service has always begun with the hymn, “Once in Royal David’s City.” In the years to follow, carols were often changed and new carols were introduced, but the lessons and prayers have remained virtually intact from the beginning. The idea for a service of Lessons and Carols originated in 1880 when the Archbishop of Canterbury put together a service for Christmas Eve. The King’s College service became an accepted model and has been adapted again and again by other churches around the world.

Sun 20 Dec 2009 7:00 PM Blue Christmas
Feeling blue this Christmas? Christmas isn't a joyful time for everyone. There's still grief, there's still difficulty, even in December. If you're just not feeling it this year, maybe our Blue Christmas worship service is for you. At 7:00 p.m. on Sunday, December 20, we will have a time of music and prayer, and a message of hope. Prayer partners will be available during and after the service. Reverend Liz Moen will be leading this special service and will be delivering the message titled "We Need This Baby." The focus of the evening is to try and find a glimmer of hope or light in the midst of the darkness.
