CCC CHRISTMAS EVE CANDLELIGHT SERVICEDecember 24, 2025
6:30 pm This Christmas Eve, we invite you to gather with us for a deeply meaningful celebration of the night our Savior entered the world. Together we will worship, hear the Scriptural story of Christ’s birth, and receive a message of hope from Craig. Our Praise Team will lead us in carols and special music, and the children will enjoy a Christmas story lovingly shared by Morgan. Rachel and Julie have prepared thoughtful gifts for you, and Marie has created a birthday cake for Jesus as a sweet reminder of the joy He brings. As our service concludes, we will join our voices in “Silent Night,” lifting our candles high as we remember the moment God’s light broke into the darkness through Jesus. Make plans now to be part of this sacred and joy-filled celebration. |

Missions Rock! Sunday - November 30
Here are updates from the three missions we work with. Thank you for making a difference to His House Campus Ministry, Great Lakes Christian College, and Rock Lake Christian Assembly, and all of the people they influence for the cause of Christ.

His House Christian Fellowship (www.hhcf.org): Each year His House travels to Germany on a mission trip with college students. Heather Andreasen, Associate Campus Minister at SVSU, wrote the following: “It was such a pleasure to experience Germany knowing that Scott Austin, Executive Director, and others have poured into people there over the past 20+ years. We built so many relationships with people on train rides, in many classrooms across grade levels, in college cafeterias, in the after-school program with kids, and even in restaurants. It was amazing to see over 140 people show up to our taco event on one of the last nights of our trip. Scott shared the Great News of Jesus, and when we followed up, it became clear that many had truly heard and understood the message about Jesus. Many of us have ongoing relationships with people we met there, and I can’t wait to see how God continues to move in these.”
