Volunteers Needed for Hosting To Our House

We once again have the honor to house individuals from our local community who are displaced and need a place to stay during the cold winter nights.  They will be with us December 15-26.  We need many in our church family to assist in this endeavor.  We need volunteers to drive a van to pick up our guests in the evening and to drop them off in the morning.  We will need volunteers to cook an evening meal for each day they are with us.  We will also need volunteers to stay overnight in order to provide snacks, pack their lunches for the next day, and to set out breakfast in the mornings before they leave for the day.  You will find details on timing and other information at the sign-up table in the Lobby!



Summer 2026 Mission Trip Meetings

In June 2026, we will have two international mission trips. One will be to Honduras, and the other to Kenya. If you're interested in joining either of these mission teams, plan to attend an information meeting tonight, at 6:00 pm in Room 1019.

Message Notes:

Joseph – “An Example of Faithfulness”


A true home is a feeling of love, comfort, and belonging, rather than just a physical place.

Home for The First Christmas
Leading up to Christmas Day, we want to highlight each family member as we learn from their role in the Christmas story. We want to explore each of their personalities, emotions, and actions that added to the sense of love and belonging in their home.

Joseph
18 This is how the birth of Jesus the Messiah came about: His mother Mary was pledged to be married to Joseph, but before they came together, she was found to be pregnant through the Holy Spirit. 19 Because Joseph her husband was faithful to the law, and yet did not want to expose her to public disgrace, he had in mind to divorce her quietly. (Matthew 1:18-19)

“No person will ever face the exact same dilemma which Joseph faced, but we all face many other troubling situations in life which require decisions and action. Like Joseph, may our decisions demonstrate righteousness, mercy, and obedience to God’s word.” — Royce Frederick

20 But after he had considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, “Joseph son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. 21 She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins.” 22 All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet: 23 “The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel” (which means “God with us”). (Matthew 1:20-23)

“Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved.” (Acts 4:12)

24 When Joseph woke up, he did what the angel of the Lord had commanded him and took Mary home as his wife. 25 But he did not consummate their marriage until she gave birth to a son. And he gave him the name Jesus. (Matthew 1:24-25)
