Student Ministry 2011
We
are nearing the end of 2011 and would like to acknowledge and commend the
students who participated in various service projects throughout this past
year. The following is just a partial list of their labor in 2011:
City Mission/Laura’s Home
Operation Christmas Child
Cleveland Pregnancy Center
Cornerstone Pregnancy Center
The Renaissance
Olmsted Community Center
Ballet Magnificat
Vacation Bible School
Parking Lot Sealing
Sojka Family Projects
Single Mother Yard Work
Isn’t
this an impressive list? The goal for the students was to cultivate an appetite
for service. We live in an age where most young people are consumed with a
desire to stimulate and entertain themselves. We want something better for our
students.
We
would like to thank those who participated in Student Ministry this year:

Special December Services
Sunday,
December 4th
We
have set apart this Sunday service to present a teaching and some practical
ideas on how to identify and reach out to unchurched people.
It
is the heart of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ to seek and save the lost.
Especially, during the Christmas season, we need to contemplate the lengths He
went to reach out to us.
Christmas Eve
As
has become our tradition, we will once again host a Christmas Eve Service at The Renaissance. This time of special
worship and teaching will begin at 7:00 p.m. and last about an hour (so we can
all be home with our families).
This
time will be filled with music, candle lights, readings, a teaching on the
amazing names of Messiah and the joy of God’s promise fulfilled.
Christmas
Morning
Every
so often, Christmas falls on Sunday; such is the case this year. Per our normal
pattern, those who are able will gather at Olmsted Community Center for worship
at 10:30 a.m.
We
will offer some coffee, juice, pastries and fruit at 10:00 a.m. for a time of
Christmas morning fellowship. Afterwards, we will have a time of worship and
teaching, as we conclude a message on the amazing names of Messiah (begun the
night before on Christmas Eve).
Because
of our continental breakfast, there will be no Sunday School Christmas morning.
