Important Info:
Pathways Allowing Us To Stay Setup - Pathways Middle School will allow us to keep our church setup "as-is" when we leave this Sunday! That means we won't have to have a separate setup for Christmas Eve or the following Sunday. Let's continue to praise God for the relationship He's provided with the leadership at Pathways Middle School.
Reminder: Deacon Retreat - A few new Deacons are receiving Dispatch this week, so this is an announcement and a reminder! We are currently planning a Deacon Retreat for February 4th and 5th. The retreat will not be overnight. Save the date, and more information is to come!
Application Questions:

How does God’s power displayed through fulfilled prophecy increase your confidence in his power? Choose some prophecies about Jesus’ incarnation to focus on this Christmas.
Read 2 Corinthians 4:7. What are some of the ways you have seen this to be true in your own life? How have you seen God being glorified even when you felt weak or insufficient for the task ahead?
Read Luke 1:38. What keeps you from offering yourself humbly and willingly as God’s servant like Mary does in this passage? What from her example encourages you to submit to the will of God?
