Dear Next Step Family, celebrate the birth of Christ with us this Sunday, Dec. 24, at our usual service time, 10 a.m. We'll hear the wonderful story of Simeon, a devout man who had been told by the Holy Spirit that he would not die until he saw the Lord's Messiah with his own eyes. When Joseph and Mary brought the baby Jesus to consecrate him at the temple, Simeon recognized the child and was overcome with joy.
Join us as we join in Simeon's thankful prayer of praise. Our speaker will be Devin Wharwood of The Hope Church Network.You can find us at 360 Schermerhorn St. Service begins at 10 a.m. Children 5-12 are invited to come as well--the iGnite Kidz Christmas party starts at 10 a.m!
