"So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby, who was lying in the manger." - Luke 2:16You're invited to worship the birth of the Messiah in the Sanctuary at 5 PM on December 24. This service will be a contemporary candlelight service that will feature Christmas songs with our Worship Team, Scripture, the Christmas message, and of course, "Silent Night" via candlelight. We'll also receive Communion on this holy night; everyone is welcome to receive God's grace through the Sacrament!
Merry Christmas!
CHRISTMAS MIRACLE OFFERING
At the heart of our church is a deep desire to reach out to the community and show the radical generosity of God’s love by providing food, shelter, and support where needed both locally and globally. That is why at all our Christmas Eve worship services, 100% of the offering is given to mission work locally, domestically, and internationally. Over the past 12 years we’ve given every penny received on Christmas Eve to partners in ministry totaling $954,653.64.
With some of those funds, we’ve fed homeless children in Port-au-Prince, purchased 50 new beds for relocated homeless persons in Reading, framed two new homes for Help Build Hope, and assisted the church in Tanzania providing famine relief. We have fed the hungry and clothed those in need through New Journey Community Outreach, funded shelter ministries at Hope Rescue Mission, Opportunity House, and City Light Ministries. Additionally, we support Helping Harvest, Little Acts of Love, and provide vital support for the homeless through Family Promise and Hannah’s Hope. And last year, you helped found a new organization, Refresh Berks, a team of people who provide mobile shower and hygiene services to the homeless of Berks County.
All of this and more has been done in the name of Jesus Christ thanks to your generous giving.
