This Christmas, remember the life-changing power of Jesus’ love in action! Join us this Sunday before Christmas as we reflect on the true meaning of the season—a time to make room for Jesus in our lives, embrace His sacrificial love, and share His love with others. Together, we’ll be reminded of how Jesus’ birth is not just a historic event but a powerful call to live out His love daily in our words and actions.
We’d also love to invite you to return on Tuesday at 4:30 PM for our Christmas Eve Service, a special time of worship and reflection as we celebrate the arrival of Jesus, the Light of the World.
This Christmas, let’s not only celebrate Jesus’ love but also apply its truths to our lives and share it with those around us. Come as you are, and let’s make this a season of love, hope, and action together. We’d love to welcome you and your family! 93 Midway Dr. Virginia, MN 55792
