Christmas Story Meets Bohemian Rhapsody

Video of the Day: Creative people are such fun!  In the video link below, a creative person merged the story of Christmas together with the well-known song "Bohemian Rhapsody."  It is very well done!  As Reformed Christians, we should always be taking parts of our culture and re-forming them for Christ.  This is only one example for us to follow.  Enjoy!  

1.  CHRISTMAS EVENTS
  • SUNDAY - Only 2 more weeks of our Songs of Advent series! Invite a friend to worship Sunday as we sing the Angel's song: "The Song of Peace" (Luke 2:14).
  • MITTEN TREE - If you took a mitten off the tree in the Worship Center, bring your gift to church this Sunday.  We will deliver the gifts to our adopted family from LoveINC this week.  Thanks for helping to give this family a great Christmas!
  • Advent Devotions - If you are on our weekly email list, you have received a daily 2-minute Advent email to help focus you on the reason we celebrate Christmas.  Has this been helpful for you?  Send us a note to tell us.
