Christmas Day at 10:00 a.m.

"The shepherds said to one another, 'Let's go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened...'" This thing! Join us on Christmas morning as we join the shepherds in watching, wondering, worshiping, and witnessing to "this thing."

Tonight's candlelight service - postponed

Due to the extreme weather conditions, tonight's candlelight service has been rescheduled for tomorrow evening (Monday, Dec 22) at 7:30 p.m.

And Mary Pondered All These Things

"And Mary Pondered All These Things in Her Heart" is the title of the candlelight service which will be held this Sunday, Dec 21 at 7:30 p.m. at the Lucknow Community Christian Reformed Church. Join us for a beautiful evening of music and narration and then stay for some hot apple cider and Christmas treats after the service.

Just say it!

Sometimes just saying the word makes it seem more real. So at times, we prefer to NOT talk about whatever it is that is bothering us. The high priest who was interrogating Peter and the other disciples seemed to have a little trouble saying the name "Jesus" (see Acts 5:28). But Peter and the others knew of whom they were teaching: Jesus, Prince and Saviour. Join us this Sunday, 10 a.m., on the fourth Sunday of Advent, as we anticipate the coming of the Prince of Peace.

All I Want for Christmas...

Shirley and Brenda, along with a veritable host of volunteers, have been sorting and organizing the donations of food and gifts that have been pouring in for the Wingham Christmas Bureau. We can praise and thank God for working in people's hearts to help make a child's Christmas wish come true. We all have wishes at Christmas time, but often we ask with hesitancy, only half believing that we can trust God to answer our prayers. In John 14:14 we read that Jesus says, "You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it." Anything! Do we dare to ask that extravagantly? Join us this Sunday as we think about our Christmas wish lists.

Mary, Did You Know

The carol, Mary, Did You Know, reminds us that the Christmas Story plays out within another story - the passion of Christ. The manger rests in the shadow of the cross. This Sunday's message places the Luke 2 story within the context of the Luke 22 story. If you have a few moments, I invite you to watch the youtube video, Mary Did You Know.

A little bit of country

A few of us got into the mood on Sunday (that's Alicia & Henry with me)as our worship service took on a country flavour yesterday morning. Special thanks to the Chalmers Country Gospel Band and to all our guests. Ya'll come back now, ya hear?!
