Next Steps

• This Christmas celebrate that Jesus is the light of the world. Perhaps you might want to go see Christmas lights and talk about it.
• Make plans now to read the Christmas story with your family.
• Use the Christmas devotional, at the Connction Center, this year. It is not too late to start.

Home Church
Our Home Churches meet weekly to facilitate quicker relational depth, study the same passage taught
Sunday to help apply Scripture in the context of community, and pray with one another. Home Church helps our body seek God’s best for one another.

Christmas Offering
This year’s Christmas offering will go towards a master plan to refresh our main areas of welcome and fellowship not touched in the building addition and remodel of 2019, beginning with a refresh of the atrium,
bathrooms, and kitchen. The updates will foster a warm and inviting space that is welcoming to all who come to Fellowship. We will take an offering on December 18 during both services. You can also give online fellowshiponegiving.com

New Years Day
On Sunday, January 1, we will have one worship service at 10:45 a.m. Children of all ages will be joining their families so everyone has a chance to worship during the one service.
