I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; He is Christ the Lord. This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger. Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, Praise God and saying,

Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men on whom His favor rests.

Luke 2:10-14

In the event of weather that makes it unsafe to drive to worship, the Elders will work with Pastor to determine if we need to cancel Sunday worship or other activities. Please tune to KMBC (local ABC affiliate channel 9) for closure notification.
We will also update our website and our Facebook page, and you may receive e-mail notification from the church office.
If possible, we will post a pre-recorded sermon message from Pastor Dunn on our Facebook page by our usual worship time.

Our Advent expectation continues as we wait to celebrate the gift of God’s promised Son to be our Savior. Like us, Abraham struggled as God’s promise seemed less likely to come about, especially as the years passed into decades. As our faith may at times grow weak, we are tempted to take matters into our own hands, only to discover that our efforts fail. That is one reason we are here again this day, in order that God’s Word and Spirit strengthen our faith, even in the face of all doubts, to wait upon God’s sure and gracious promises. The true Son of Abraham is the One whom God has sent and designated, saying, “This is My beloved Son.” Jesus brings all of God’s promises together to make us sons and daughters of God. Believe it. Live it.
