Merry Christmas 2011

Welcome to Dakota Community Church

Grace, Freedom, Laughter

Merry Christmas and best wishes for a 2012 that is blessed in every way, especially with spiritual growth; as you draw near to the Lord!

Enjoy the service and during the sermon please follow along in the Bible using the links below.

Scripture for today’s sermon:

Colossians 2:6-16

 

This Weekend at Dakota

Therefore do not let anyone judge you by what you eat or drink, or with regard to a religious festival, a New Moon celebration or a Sabbath day. These are a shadow of the things that were to come; the reality, however, is found in Christ.  (Colossians 2:16-17)

Let me begin by wishing each of you a very Merry Christmas and a 2012 that is blessed in every way, especially with spiritual growth; as you draw near to the Lord.

The plans for worship this weekend include:

A Christmas Eve Communion/Candle Light Service to be held at 5:30 pm in the upstairs sanctuary. Pastor Chris will be leading us and sharing the Word.

Sunday morning Service at the usual time (10:30 am), also in the upstairs sanctuary with PCC invited to join us! My message is entitled; “The Reality is Found in Christ” and I feel certain it will be a blessing.

To those who will be travelling or away for whatever scheduling reasons - God bless and keep you over the holiday season and see you next year!

“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. (John 3:16-17)

This Sunday morning - (the last before Christmas!) - we will be lighting the fourth candle in the advent wreath which serves to remind us of God’s incredible love for us.

To think of the God of the Universe, the creator of all things, lying in a manger, wrapped in swaddling clothes, in the care of a teenage girl is mind boggling to say the least.

What does this “advent” say about the nature of God’s love? What does it say about the human condition that this extreme measure is necessary?

In order to save us, God became one of us, tempted in every way as we are - yet without sin.

Please join me this Sunday morning as we celebrate the love of God as it is revealed to us through the incarnation of our Lord and Savior, Jesus.
