Christmas Time Is NOW

December 1st is here! 25 days till Christmas! I love this time of year.....

As I am writing this BLOG a few volunteers and a few staff members are starting to build the HUGE wall that will be our Nativity Mural canvas. This thing will be HUGE as it spans more than 30 feet in length and 12 feet high. As we have been saying....this Mural will be painted live in all services leading up to Christmas Eve. They will be panting during the worship and during the teaching. It will be an experiential Christmas like never before. Then on Christmas Eve it will be completed! I believe this will be a life changing Christmas Series for all who experience it.......now that is where YOU come in.

We have printed out invitations for you to use to invite a friend, co-worker, family member or even just a neighbor you don't know very well. We want to pack the house this Sunday for the start of this special Christmas Series. This is another way we can Team Up......to change our city. As Team Church we have One Purpose....Shared Responsibility! Take time to pray about who you can invite....then "Do Something Significant" and go invite them and bring them with you!

This Christmas is going to be a great time at Team Church! Speaking of Team Church...if you have not watched the service from last week and learn the purpose and the practicality of why the name change....go to Myteamchurch.com and read and watch. It will answer your questions.

I have received a few emails asking me about the Gator game Peyton and I went to. Yes...we got soaked. Yes we stayed through the whole game. Yes, the Gators killed the Seminoles! It was fun but very wet.......Also, I heard that our awesome youth pastor did a great job speaking this Sunday! As a church, please never take for granted the incredible staff God has placed at our Church. They are very very very gifted and dedicated.

Looking for a great real Christmas tree that your money goes to a great cause and half the price is a taxable donation....Matthews Area Rec Association is selling NC trees on location at the fields.
