Hope Is Alive

The Christmas season touches every home in a different way. Some are celebrating new beginnings; their first Christmas as a couple or welcoming a newborn baby into the family. Others are quietly navigating loss or change. Many of us are simply trying to find those Christmas feels in the midst of the hustle and bustle of the season.

Here’s what I want you to know. We see you. We see our community. We see the need for the hope that only Jesus provides. That’s why this December, we’ve put a lot of prayer and preparation into making this season something special for you and your family.

All month long, I’ll be sharing a message series called Hope Is Alive. This season, whether you need joy, peace, healing, or just a place to belong, there’s no better time to draw near. It is also a wonderful time to invite friends, family, and co-workers who need hope. Hope has a name, and His name is Jesus!

It all culminates on December 21st with our Family Christmas Service, celebrating Jesus with a powerful time of worship and celebration with every ministry across Grace World.

Then, on December 24th at 5pm, is our annual Candlelight Christmas Eve Communion, which has become a special part of our church family Christmas tradition.

There’s no place like Grace at Christmas.

Let’s make Jesus the center of this season. I’ll see you Sunday.

With Hope,

Pastor Daniel
