ANGEL TREE
Angel Tree is the only national ministry to reach out to the children of incarcerated parents. With your help, we can touch the hearts of hurting children at Christmas and transform lives through the power of Jesus Christ!
Did you know that:
• One in three prisoners is a parent
• About 75% of women in prison are mothers
• 1 in every 43 children has a parent in prison
• More than 1.7 million children will spend Christmas separated from their mom or dad
Let’s do our part to bring some joy into the lives of these children at Christmas. Come by the Christmas trees in the Café on Sunday, November 27th and December 4th. Pick a child’s name or more if you would like. Go to the store and buy them the gift they are hoping to receive. Wrap it and bring it back to the church on December 11th. If you are interested in blessing the child with the gift, please consider helping deliver it on December 17th. To help deliver, sign up at the Community Outreach Booth.
Thank you for giving with your heart!

What we believe frames and shapes everything we do! What we believe about God will cause us to run to Him, or from Him. Healthy and biblical beliefs become a rock-solid foundation to build our life on. Man-made beliefs are like shifting sand that give us no sense of security or foundation for our life. In this four week series, we will look at some core beliefs of the Christian faith and discover how they can help us stand strong and follow God with confidence in an unstable and ever-changing world. Join us as we go deep in God’s Word this November.

WORTHY OF WORSHIP, Week 2
“The Wise Men’s Story”
Reading for the Week of December 5 – 11
Day 1- Mark 15
Day 2- Luke 23
Day 3- Matthew 26
Day 4- 1 Corinthians 13
Day 5- 2 Corinthians 5
Day 6- Romans 5
Bonus- Ephesians 4
Memorize/Reflect - “But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, though you are small among the clans of Judah, out of you will come for me one who will be ruler over Israel, whose origins are from old, from ancient times” (Micah 5:2)
Personal Reflection- The Magi traveled over 1000 miles to worship the new King though they were neither Christian nor Jew. What sacrifices are you making (or would you be willing to make) so that you can fully worship Jesus, the King of kings?
Discussion- If you were a Magi, a wise man from an ancient priesthood, traveling to worship a new King in the form of a baby, what might you think and feel as you encountered the Child the first time?
Prayer Direction- Thank God that when we see a nativity scene at Christmas time, we really see a powerful reminder that we can live a gloriously transformed life.
“Live It!” Challenge - Reflect on some ways you can acknowledge and demonstrate that you know Jesus Christ as your King during this Christmas season. Plan to live out a couple of these in the coming weeks.
Monthly Prayer Focus: This month we will focus on prayer through song. All through the Bible God calls us to sing to Him. This is not a simple invitation; it is a command (even if we are not “the singing type”). Take time this week to put on a worship CD or collection of hymns and sing to God…really make these songs your prayer.
October-December: As we draw near the end of another year, we will continue to focus on the spiritual discipline of celebration. We will let this center on Jesus. This week, make time to celebrate the reality that God came among us. Thank God for coming. Praise Him that He is with you today.
Resources online or in the Shoreline Bookstore: Consider reading Max Lucado’s book, God Came Near.
