Ministry Highlights from 2023
Let’s Celebrate all that God did in 2023!
We had an amazing Advent Season throughout December with so much to celebrate. We kicked it off with our All Church Christmas Dinner where 180 of you gathered to share a meal and used your talents playing our church handbells. The Youth and Children wrapped up the fall ministry season with Christmas celebrations and our Groups Ministry ended the year with a multigenerational gathering of over 200 of you singing carols, decorating gingerbread houses, sharing a meal together, and enjoying fellowship. Our worship teams did an amazing job throughout December leading our church in worship to lift up Emmanuel, God With Us, through celebrating the birth of our Savior, Jesus. As a whole, 2023 was an exciting year where we saw God show up in so many ways.
Over the Christmas weekend, we had 1,100 people join us for our Christmas Eve services. This could not have happened without our amazing volunteers and all of you inviting people whom God has placed around you.
Thank you to all of you who give back a portion of what God has blessed you with to what the Lord is doing through Christ Community. We were very close to reaching our December giving goal and will have a financial update next week as we wrap up our first 6 months of the ministry year (July-December).
As we head into this New Year, let's all be expectant of how the Lord is going to use you and Christ Community to raise up fully committed followers of Jesus Christ!
