OVERVIEW

Sunday, December 7th, Billy Willis from Youth Alive as our guest speaker. Billy will be bringing a powerful and timely message titled “Compassion”, rooted in Matthew 9:36–38.

In this passage, we see Jesus looking upon the crowds—lost, weary, and scattered—and His heart is moved with deep compassion. He doesn’t just observe their need; He feels it, and He responds. Then He turns to His disciples and says:

“The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into His harvest field.”

Billy will guide us through this moment in Scripture, helping us see what it means to look at the world with the same compassion Jesus has for every single person.

It is a call to:

See people through His eyes
Allow our hearts to be moved
Respond with love, truth, and action
Recognize the urgency of the harvest
Say “yes” to being workers God can send

This message is both challenging and encouraging, reminding us that compassion is not passive—it’s active, intentional, and transformational.

Whether you’re already serving or simply seeking direction, this is a word you won’t want to miss.

💛 Join us this Sunday as we lean into the heart of Jesus and discover how to walk out compassion in our own lives and community.

"A Chaotic Christmas"

Following the service

Get ready for a Christmas play like no other! What should be a simple Nativity photo turns into a whirlwind of holiday fun as some very familiar Christmas characters accidentally wander onto the scene. Cindy Lou Who, Frosty, Buddy the Elf, the Chipmunks, and even a kid in a giant pink bunny suit all bring joyful chaos — and Chadd & Collin do their best to guide everyone back to the real meaning of Christmas.

✨ Expect laughter, music, and a little chaos.

✨ Expect your favorite Christmas characters having the time of their lives.

✨ Expect Chadd & Collin doing their best to keep everyone focused on Jesus.

✨ And in the end, a beautiful moment that brings us all back to the heart of the Nativity.

Bring your family, invite your friends, and join us for a fun, meaningful Christmas celebration you won’t forget!
