5:00pm Family Service
This active child-friendly celebration is for all ages. Children are invited to come dressed as characters from the Christmas story (angels, wisemen, shepherds, and barn animals) and assist in the building of a living nativity. Childcare is provided for infants and toddlers only.

7:30 and 9pm Candlelight Services
These identical Christmas celebrations will feature carols, candles, and a Christmas message by Pastor Scott. These services are best enjoyed by adults and children over the age of 10. Only infant childcare is available.

the Venue Holiday Schedule
Sundays, 11:00am in the Chapel

In the chapel, we will continue our Venue worship services in the intimate, cafe environment through the Advent season (Dec 14 & Dec 21). The two Sundays following Christmas, Dec 28 and Jan 4, the Venue service will join the Auditorium for combined services at 11am. Once Jan 11 rolls around the Venue will be ready to roll in the chapel for the second semester.

The primary teaching method of Jesus was story telling. In fact, about a third of his words recorded in the scriptures are parables. This series explored these famous stories which for 2,000 years have stretched the greatest minds and fed the simplest ones.

PEAK Reflections: A Spiritual Growth Blog
Check it out at www.peakreflections.blogspot.com.

Spiritual growth is something that happens best in community. With this in mind, Community Church has developed an online resource to bring people together to explore faith. Hosted by Pastor Brian LaMew, Peak Reflections will feature blog posts from a number of leaders of the church on a variety of topics ranging from theology and spiritual growth to missions and serving. Pastor Brian will regularly offer posts reflecting on a number of topics related to life, faith, and scripture. Peak Reflections is designed to be interactive to allow you to post comments and get in the conversation. There will also be a growing number of spiritual life resources that will be a springboard for you as a follower of Christ.

Officer Nominations

Each year at this time, our church undergoes the important task of choosing officers for the new year. The nominations committee invites your recommendations for elders, deacons, trustees, and nominations committee.

Our selection of officers is confirmed in four ways:
1. The Nominations Committee selects candidates after much prayer and discussion. The Committee welcomes written suggestions from the congregation during their deliberations.
2. The candidates evaluate themselves and their sense of call. But the candidate's sense of call alone is not enough.
3. The current ruling session must examine candidates for the office of Elder and Deacon.
4. The congregation must confirm the selection by voting for the candidates at a meeting of the congregation scheduled for Sunday, December 21.

As you can see, this business of officer selection is serious stuff.
