This Christmas...."Imagine what could be!"

God's Kingdom runs on love and Love is the fuel that generates miracles and Joy.  As Christians, we are called to demonstrate Jesus' love to others. God sent us Jesus because He loves us.

That being said, your behavior is not what makes you a Christian, your belief in Jesus does! When you decide that Jesus is who He said He is, you have crossed the "starting line" not the finish line. The object is to move across the starting line and then continue toward the finish line the rest of your life which to me means refining my ability to love as Jesus loved!  Show compassion as Jesus showed compassion! Forgive others as Jesus forgave others!

This Christmas, join Praise Community Fellowship and Immanuel Methodist as we come together to refine our love of others and to plant the seeds of love into our community! It starts with me, and you. Imagine what could be!

Joy Projects

• The Shoeman project. We are collecting old shoes for the showman. This organization sells the shoes and drills wells for water in 3rd world countries.
• Beverly Farm Christmas Gifts  We have put up the christmas tree in the sanctuary that has Christmas wish lists for Beverly Farm residents that have no family. Last year we sponsored 50 residents and we are trying to meet that goal again. 
• Feed the Kids on Weekends Faye Heuchert and Brad Joiner are getting ready to get this project rolling. We are looking for volunteers who would be willing to pack lunches and volunteers that would be willing to take the lunches to distribution centers.  You can contact Faye or Brad or pastor Kent.
