Christmas Greetings!

“For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.” Isaiah 9:6 NIV I am not sure if Jesus is any more welcome today than He was 2,000 years ago.  However, just as there were those who warmly welcomed Him and worshiped Him then, we can be among those who welcome and worship Him now.  Let’s…

Christmas Luncheon

Next Sunday (as part of our Advent Season celebration), on Sunday, December 13, a Christmas Luncheon is planned for everyone, immediately following the morning service.  Plan now to bring your favorite “Christmas dish” to share.  This is always a special celebration which our church family enjoys!

Is My Faith True?

This morning Christmas trees are lit, wreaths and banners are hung, and an Advent wreath with candle is also lit.   Why decorate so early, you ask?   Because today marks the beginning of the season when we recall Christ’s coming, two thousand years ago, to planet earth. If you ever have the thought, as I occasionally do, “How do I know my faith is really true?” you are not alone.   Most of us have occasional doubts about the reality of our…

Prayer for Jobseekers

In your prayers, remember all those in our church who have lost jobs and had work hours lessened.  Pray fervently to our gracious God asking Him to provide for each family that is in distress.  These are trying times, but God is MIGHTY TO DELIVER.

To all the veterans who have so willingly given of themselves on behalf of our nation, we salute you.

Special Worship Night

A very special evening of Prayer, Praise, Fellowship & Food will be held Sunday, November 1, at 6:00 p.m. at Revival Temple (228 N. County St. Waukegan).  This is in place of the usual quarterly day of prayer (which had to be cancelled due to a conflict).

Being a Voice for the Unborn

Who are the ones affected by abortion?  Well, there’s the child; the mother; the father; the grandparents and extended family; the friends; the medical staff; the legislators and leaders; those who will make the profit; and those who will suffer the loss.   In one way or another every citizen suffers the effects when a nation loses sight of the supreme value of every human life.   As Christians, we our responsible to pray for our nation and that the heart of…
