Each class will be exploring PEACE — the incarnational peace of Christ, in the midst of life’s chaos. Each class will focus on a different aspect of peace in the Advent season, including: • Peace in the Midst of Busyness • Peace in Mental Health • Peace in the Midst of Family Conflict • Peace in the Face of Materialism • Peace through the Birth of Christ These classes will be led by teachers such as Julianna Robertson, David Fraze, Ashton Stewart, Eric Opton, David Gray, and others.

NOVEMBER 16, 2025 Giving $55,404.58 Weekly Budget $43,500.00 Weekly Average $42,249.75 Attendance NC CONTRIBUTION/ATTENDANCE Today we turn our attention toward the week ahead as we prepare for the Thanksgiving holiday. We will focus on Psalm 100—a call to remember God’s goodness and enter His presence with gratitude, and a reminder that, no matter what happens, we are known and loved by God. Psalm 100 says: Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth. Worship the Lord with gladness; come before him with joyful songs. Know that the Lord is God. It is he who made us, and we are his; we are his people, the sheep of his pasture. Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name. For the Lord is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations. Today as we hear stories about God’s faithful-ness, share in a time of worship, and gather around the table of the Lord, we will celebrate, reflect, and give thanks to the One who made us, loves us, and shepherds us.
