From The Pastor’s Heart: Christmas Story and Carols at Mt. View Sunday, December 21 at 5PM

“The people who walk in darkness
will see a great light.
For those who live in a land of deep darkness,
a light will shine.” Isaiah 9:2

One of the joys of Christmas is having the entire body of Christ worshippers gather to celebrate the birth of Jesus.  This verse from Isaiah is one among many which we will read to hear the powerful story of a Messiah who has come to bring light into our dark world. All our campuses, campus pastors, and worship teams, will gather to witness the powerful “Christmas Story and Carols” on Sunday night, December 21 at 5 p.m. at our Mt. View Campus.  We will also celebrate on Sunday, December 21, the ordination and licensing of several pastors of Christ Church Global.  You don’t want to miss this extraordinary event as we will have a Chamber Orchestra, combined praise choir, and our worship teams leading us in our favorite Christmas carols.

All of our campuses will host Candlelight and Communion services on Christmas Eve (see all campus worship times below).  We will hear the angels say again, “Fear Not, for I bring you tidings of great joy…for born unto you is a savior which is Christ the Lord.”   Invite a friend, family member, coworker, and neighbors to attend with you.  People are more open during Christmas to an invitation to attend worship.  Offer to sit with them.  Our worship centers are beautifully decorated to celebrate the birth of Christ.
Vision 2:28 has received $232,000 in checks and cash in addition to $75,000 in stocks.  We are continuing to receive our Commitment Cards as these are vital for us to communicate to our bank that we are ready to build the new facility at our Lincolnton Campus.  Please return yours, if you haven’t as soon as possible.

Merry Christmas,
Pastors Charles, Julie, Mike, Trent, Chip, Walter, Brian, Brent, and Jacob
