EXPERIENCING JOY DURING A "CRUCIBLE EXPERIENCE" – Join us in the Parlor today and in the coming
weeks for a class about deep inner joy. What is a "Crucible Experience"? A time of suffering that produces a deep
transformation on the inside. Come and watch St. Paul share his deep inner joy during a time in the "crucible". We will be
studying the book of Philippians at 9:15 and 10:30am on Sundays (change for today; 2nd time slot begins at 10:45am).
NURSERY AND SUNDAY SCHOOL – Children (toddling to 3 years) are invited to the Nursery during the 9:15am

lesson). The Nursery and Sunday school will be closed on December 26.

Friday Fish Fry, Cinnamon Rolls, etc. We appreciate your support. Thanks and have a blessed holiday season!
