Church Board Results, StoryNight, The Big Give
Dear Church,
We’re journeying through advent with stories from our community.
Are you facing a hard decision?
Be encouraged by part of Beth Stark’s story (from today’s devotional) about trusting God and receiving peace in the face of a hard decision.
“I have always loved the story of Ruth and Naomi in the Old Testament. As a child, I moved every two to three years to a new Nazarene parsonage. The phrase, “Where you go, I will go, and where you stay, I will stay,” always resounded in my nomadic heart. I just wanted to stay in one place.
“As time passed, I began my own journey as an adult with many moves…Ohio to Pennsylvania to Missouri to New Jersey to Virginia to Pennsylvania once more. As much as my heart longed to stay, the voice of God often said, “Go!”. Sometimes it was easy; other times, it required me to lay my heart open before God and accept His will once again.
“Are you making a hard decision right now? Are you stalling because you don’t know if you can trust God? Pray until peace settles over you, take action with trust, and rejoice in God’s provision!”

Christmas Card Exchange
Let's share the love with Christmas greetings this season.
We'll have boxes in the cafe where you can drop cards for Stillmeadow family, our shut-ins and for our local police. We’ll have a list of names of Stillmeadow folks who are unable to get out as much so that you can write a card to bless them. And we’ll have a place for you to express your appreciation to our local police department as well.
The boxes will be out from Dec 4-25, but we'll be delivering the cards for shut-ins and police the week before Christmas, so those cards are due by Dec 18.
Hey Kids!
Join us on Sunday, December 11th @ 9am & 10:30am at our Stillmeadow Lane Campus for our Happy Birthday Jesus party during our SNK Worship service!
