God of Shepherds and Kings
Pastor Jason PRAYER
Reflecting on Mary’s Magnificat
Before you, O God, during this Christmas season, I confess—
I am quick to complain, quick to criticize and conform.
I am quick to forget, quick to doubt and deny.
Instead of singing praise, I often stay silent.
God of shepherds and kings,
God of starlight and new life,
May Your grace show me the way home this Christmas.
Amen.
What an Amazing Sunday!
Thanks to everyone for making this past Sunday such an amazing and wonderful time of worship. The Choir was beautiful! The orchestra was tremendous! The children were outstanding! The congregation was inspired! The food and fellowship were fabulous! And God was glorified!
Holiday Turkeys and Food Boxes
Last year, we began serving Holiday Food Boxes through the Dunn United Ministerial Association Food Pantry in order to partner with other churches in our community. While we used to do food boxes on our own, working with other churches enables us to (1) provide more food boxes to more people, (2) work in unity with other Christians, and (3) support DUMA!
Todd Snyder, our DUMA Food Pantry Director, has asked for our support again. This year, in an effort to better serve folks, we will be able to offer several options with the Food Boxes: Turkey OR Ham OR Pork Loin. As most of us have options when we go to the grocery store, we will now be able to empower those in need by offering them some choice that can best meet their family and health needs!
To contribute to our Holiday Food Boxes, you can:
- Give Online (select Holiday Food Boxes in the Fund List)
- Check via mail or in Sunday offering (write Holiday Food Boxes in the memo)
- Cash via mail or Sunday offering (place in an envelop marked Holiday Food Boxes)
