Christmas Prayer List

The Christmas Season is fast approaching. The holidays are a great time for having fun, eating great food, watching football and enjoying the change of season. Moreover, every year at Team Church, this special season brings a treasured time of family, fellowship and a renewing of our faith in Jesus Christ! During the last nine years we have maintained a few holiday traditions that help us as individuals and as a church to experience the Christmas Season in its deepest meaning.

Be sure to Pray and Participate in the exciting opportunities coming again this Christmas season. Each one is designed to help us fulfill our One Purpose of "reaching people where they are and leading them to full devotion in Jesus Christ."


Walter Bickett School……A place to Serve and Love

Once again this year we have purchased gifts and will be providing a Christmas party and presenting the true meaning of Christmas to a public elementary school THIS FRIDAY. We have created a great missions relationship and outreach with Walter Bickett Elementary School in Monroe. Please pray for God to use this to impact these kids in a life-changing way.


Christmas Eve Services.....A place to Serve and Share

Christmas Eve has become a memorable time for our church. Many have made attendance at this special service a part of their Christmas tradition. This is a great time to invite a friend! Please Pray that God will use this service to reach many people for salvation through Jesus. Times are 3:30, 5 and 6:30pm


Year End Gift……A time to give

Every year we take time out to be thankful for our blessings and to give over and above our normal giving. Our Year-End-Gift gives us a real and practical opportunity to give sacrificially at a time when so many are more concerned about what they are receiving. Each year we present to you needs we have as a church or the needs of others that we would like to help meet. These needs are not budgeted items and would go unmet if not for our Year-End-Gift.

This year we are in need of playing catch-up on some budgeted items that we were unable to purchase because normal budget giving dipped in the hard economical times.
Would you pray and then give as God leads. Everyone can give something and the reality is that when it is all added up.....every one's something adds up to enough to meet our needed goal. Would you pray and then give specifically toward this year end gift. All money given or mailed by December 31st will go on your 2008 tax record.

Team Church name change goes public. Starting in January we will be officially Team Church. Pray that God uses this in great ways as we start year 10!

Team Church (Lancaster Co.) will start in the pre-launch phase in January. Pray that God uses this to reach a whole new area and that we are set for our Easter Launch!


Thanks for Praying!
