- The season of Advent continues today, when we celebrate the incarnation of the Son of God to be our Savior. As you will notice, we have lit the fourth candle of the Advent wreath, often called the Angel’s Candle to represent the angels announcing the birth of Christ. Let us rejoice in the love of God coming into the world through Jesus's birth!

- Our Christmas card table is set up outside for those who want to exchange cards. So please feel free to use it, and don't forget to check your folder today for cards.

- Our Christmas Concert and Candlelight Service will take place this evening starting at 5:40 pm. We encourage everyone to come! It will be followed by post-concert refreshments, as well as a Gingerbread House competition. Consider bringing your favorite cookies or other baked items to share. The church will provide holiday punch, hot chocolate, and coffee to drink. It will be a wonderful time to celebrate the birth of our Savior!

- Through our Christmas Candlelight Service this evening, we will be receiving donations for our Christmas Missions Offering. This year, our offering will go towards African Pastors Conferences and the spreading of the gospel and biblical teaching throughout Africa. When you give, please include in the memo line or note that it is a gift for the Christmas Missions Offering. 

- Because of the holidays, our church offices will be closed through Friday, January 2nd. We are looking forward to what the Lord has in store next year!

- Today's sermon is from 2 Samuel 22 and 1 Samuel 2. Our bulletin is available on our web site, mvbaptist.church/bulletin . On our web site, you can submit prayer requests and give. You may worship through giving by placing your offering in the plates between the double doors just after worship.
