- Our Christmas card table is setup outside today for everyone to pick up their cards. Please don't forget to check your folder today for cards before you leave!

- During last Sunday's Christmas Candlelight Service, we received our Christmas Missions Offering. We were able to raise $875 towards the $2,500 to sponsor African Pastors Conferences in Rwanda in 2026. Thank you to all who gave, and if you would still like to give to this missions need, include in the memo line or note that it is a gift for the Christmas Missions Offering.

- Next Sunday we will have a special missions Sunday School class, where Bethany Williams will share about her time in Japan and I will give a report about my time in Serbia. Please plan on hearing more about the spread of the gospel and biblical truth around the world at 9:15 am on January 4th.

- Next Sunday is also when we observe the Lord's Supper in morning worship and then have our monthly church prayer meeting at 1:30. We'd love everyone to come and join with us for these means of grace!

- Today's sermon is from Colossians 1:24-2:5. 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.

- Let’s take a minute to be silent before the Lord to seek to remove any distractions before our Call to Worship.
