New Christmas Series Starts Sunday: The Thrill Of Hope
We all look for hope. Nothing personifies hope more than the story of Christmas. But the characters that make up that story are somewhat surprising. They are shady individuals you might not invite to your own Christmas party, yet they were used by God to bring the Messiah into the world.
The Christmas story is also our story. God came as a baby to give hope to those who could never earn it or keep it. A hope not based on our personal righteousness but His promise. The Christmas story is an incredible depiction of hope because it tears away our labels and reveals that none of us are too broken, too far gone, or to far away from God's love. It's the thrill of hope for ALL mankind.
In The Thrill of Hope, Bryant tells this powerful story in a way you may have never heard it before. There is not a better time of year to invite a friend, neighbor or coworker. You can send an e-invite online at www.centerpointfl.org/invite.php
Christmas and New Year's Service Times:
Christmas we will have a Christmas Eve service on Saturday, Dec. 24th at 5 PM, with no Sunday service on Christmas Day. We will also have a New Year's Eve service on Saturday, Dec. 31st at 5 PM, with no Sunday service on New Year's Day.
We believe it is supremely important that we gather together on a weekly basis as the church to worship and to encourage one another as well as to celebrate the hope we have in Jesus. We are looking forward to doing that in our two Saturday services on Dec. 24th and Dec. 31st.
The Christmas and New Year's holidays are special times for us to slow down and to enjoy our families, especially those coming from out of town. Saturday services allow us a body to worship together, while still being able to be with our families on Christmas and New Year's Day. These two Saturday services will also give us the opportunity to say “Thank you” to our volunteers and team leads who serve faithfully each Sunday to lead people into a relationship with Jesus Christ.
We hope you will take time to join us on Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve to worship and to exalt Jesus. Childcare up to 5th grade will be provided for both Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve services. However, on Christmas Eve, we encourage you to bring your children into the service at your discretion to worship together as a family. Each child will receive a gift bag on the way in with crayons, coloring pages, etc.
We pray this season stirs your affections for Jesus Christ.
Merry Christmas!
Bryant Golden
