This Week @ Elim: 1-1 thru 1-8-2012

On the Lord’s Day:

  • There will be no Sunday school this week (1/1). But come at the regular time (9:15) for First Breakfast! We’ll enjoy a continental breakfast together to begin the new year right! This will take place during the regular Sunday school hour so no classes will meet this day.
  • 10:30 am — On January 1st, we think about FIRST THINGS. And that will be the theme for our Bible study this week. Be prepared to learn from, and act upon, what the Lord says in His Word this Sunday.

Saturday (12/24), 5:00 pm: No other event of Elim Baptist is ever as anticipated as our annual Christmas Eve Communion Service. Beginning at 5:00 pm this year, our worship will feature the depth of truth in traditional carols, the majesty of the Nativity account as it is relayed in the eternal Word, and the remembrance of the body and blood of the Savior that He took on as that babe of Bethlehem.

On the Lord’s Day:

  • There will be No Sunday school this week (12/25) or next week (1/1). See the special information below about First Breakfast on Sunday, New Year’s Day!
  • 10:30 am — What a glorious time of year and Christmas Morning Worship is a particular blessing as we look forward to the celebration of our God and King! As we worship God this Christmas season, we’ll continue to look at “Scripture in the Songs;” how we are reminded of the truth in God’s Word by the beloved Christmas carols.

Encouragers’ Theater Trip

We have a terrific group of mature saints in the Lord who encourage us every day with their devotion and their perseverance. They’ve named themselves “Encouragers” because that is their mission: encouraging others to walk in the faith! Recently, a group of them went into the Mercery Theater in Chicago for a holiday performance of “The Christmas Schooner.” After a long drive in the rain, a warm cup of coffee at a nearby coffee shop was welcomed. Even though the play was wonderful, the fellowship was the highlight of the day!
