Reaching the Lost. Discipling the Saved. Sharing the Love of Jesus with Everyone.
CHRISTMAS EVE!
The culmination from the angel prophesying to Mary through all her struggles and concerns, to the birth of the promised One!
It now isn’t just Mary’s Advent, but ours, too!
Jesus’ birth is the culmination for our lives, too – difficulties and all!
MERRY CHRISTMAS!
Join us!
This is a reminder that there is NO SUNDAY MORNING BIBLE CLASS on DECEMBER 25, 2022, and JANUARY 1, 2023!
We will resume on Sunday, January 8, 2023.
God bless your day!
Let us go over to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has made known to us.
Luke 2:15b
As if there wasn’t enough going on, now, as a community-ostracized, pregnant young woman, we have to make a prolonged trip with thousands of others to another city with what seems minimal support!
If God is going to ask so much of someone, why would He allow such struggles?
We may wonder that, too.
But God doesn’t promise we won’t have struggles. In fact, the opposite is true.
Jesus says that in this life we are guaranteed to have struggles, but to take heart, because He has overcome them and is with us through them!
That’s enough!
Always.
Let us go over to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has made known to us.
Luke 2:15b
I often wonder about the order of things here.
Did Mary go to visit Elizabeth before telling Joseph or after?
Did she do it to hide? Build up her courage to face Joseph and the community?
In any event, it would be welcome to get out of her town and visit someone who would encourage and help her through this difficult time.
Somewhere she could go to process and get a break from everything happening.
Sometimes we all need that!
But really, Jesus is the One through whom we find our true rest – for all time!
Ever wondered about baptism?
Why did God give it? What are the benefits? How should it be done? Why does it matter? When should you be baptized? Who should be baptized?
So many questions – especially for such an important Gift and topic!
On Sunday, January 8, and 15, 2023, we will have a sermon mini-series to answer these questions and more!
An at the end of the sermon on January 15, the Sacrament of Baptism will be available for those the Lord is Calling to be baptized! (It would be helpful to read more about baptism first and fill out an application here.)
Join us for this special series and event!
Let us go over to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has made known to us.
Luke 2:15b
The angel is gone. Perhaps Mary is starting to show. And Joseph has to be told.
Being found pregnant out before a wedding was not good!
What would this mean for her marriage; for the raising of this prophesied Son; for her family; for her standing in the community? Indeed, what would it mean for her literal life?
Scary!
But what God promises, He see through.
It was true with Mary. It is true with us.
Join us for Christmas at LifeBridge!
On Christmas Eve, Saturday, December 24, we will enjoy food, fellowship, and worship.
We’ll start at 4:00 PM in the cafe with food and fellowship, sharing the joy of Jesus with laughter, fellowship, and food!
We’ll then journey into the sanctuary at 5:00 PM to hear, experience, and partake in the worship of the Newborn King, Jesus; the Savior born for us!
We will also have our usual worship on Christmas Day at 10:00 AM (but no Bible class that day)!
We hope you’ll join us!
Cookies & Fellowship: 
Eve Worship:
Day Worship:
Making Christmas cookies is a sweet labor of love.
These sweet treats require the finest ingredients, shaped just right, baked properly, and iced to perfection – but they are worth the effort.
God brought everything together perfectly with the birth of Jesus – to give us the sweetest Christmas gift ever given.
Join us from December 4-25, for this T.Y.K.E.S. series at LifeBridge!
Let us go over to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has made known to us.
Luke 2:15b
Mary is amazing!
An incredible, special women who “found favor with God” and submitted to His will for her and, through her, for all!
Yet one has to wonder what was in her mind. She must have had questions. Perhaps a chief one being, “who am I”? Why was I the one who found favor in God’s eyes?
In this series for Advent and Christmas we will look at “Mary’s Advent” for the time leading up to, including, and just following Jesus’ birth, as well as our own Advent in the process.
