11:00pm on Friday, December 24: Story, Carols, Candles, & Communion

Luke 2:1-20 | There is no room for Mary and Joseph in the inn. They are displaced from their home, journeying to fulfill their civic requirements to be counted in the census. And yet, the time comes to give birth where they are, and so a humble home is found. A place is made—among the feeding trough, in a cramped room abounding with chaos. In many ways, Jesus is born without an invitation, and yet, he devotes his life to inviting people who are cast out. In the same way, we might imagine the story of Christmas as God’s invitation to be welcomed home despite all barriers. How will we respond?

Christmas Offering

Our Christmas Offering during this worship seres called Close to Home will support two important ministries in Sacramento. Here is a link to give online.

Habitat for Humanity Build for Unity: We’ll join over 250 volunteers from other faith communities throughout Sacramento to help build homes, hope, & community during a week-long Build for Unity event January 29 – February 5. Through our financial commitment at Christmas and volunteer hours during the week-long build early in 2022, we will reach in love alongside people from different faith traditions to ensure families have safe and affordable places to call home. #BuildforUnity
Jesuit Volunteer with Chaplaincy at California State Prison, Sacramento: The Jesuit Volunteer Corps (JVC) is a year-long volunteer program for young adults built on the values of spirituality, simple living, community, and social justice. Our Christmas Offering will help to support a full-time Jesuit Volunteer to work under the supervision of Chaplain Greg Mellor at New Folsom Prison from August, 2022 through July, 2023. The Jesuit Volunteer will live in intentional community with others at the JVC house near Loaves & Fishes and contribute to the growth, transformation, and rehabilitation of persons from various faith traditions who are incarcerated. Our Christmas Offering will be a practical response to Matthew 25.36: “I was… in prison and you visited me.”

Give online here to support our Christmas Offering.

Subject: WE ARE SAVED BY FAITH BUT WE ARE JUDGED BY OUR WORKS. To the churches in my area, may God bless you, In the world today we learn of horrible things & we complain helplessly as we pass the messages on. We live in what seems to be a world of doom. So where are the solutions? There are solutions but… are they being intentionally silenced & hidden? Yes, we have solutions, but we have to stop being a ‘consumer only’ nation, waiting for everyone else to jump in to save us. “…that if any would not work, neither should he eat.” 2 Thessalonians 3:10. Churches have been secretly, intentionally & slowly divided to their ruin… can you see it? Then they don’t know what to do so they try to stay safe… we all do. But aren’t we called to train up disciples in all nations? We can’t do this if we are afraid, silent & divided. “For whosoever will save their life shall lose it, and whosoever will lose his life for My sake shall find it.” Matthew 16:25. The unity of the church has untapped power in God, but He needs to hear from us… He needs us to be willing. America matters to God…. and it’s not just for us… the whole world depends on what happens to America. So in order to survive we need to unite and be the producers for God and country. It’s easier to save America now than it is to get it back once it’s gone. Think of our children and theirs. Here are two solutions: NewCaliforniaState.com New California State is the solution that uses the United States Constitution, just like the successful West Virginians did during the Civil War, to save their state AND our nation. God is here and in His power, America can be the next “Parting of the Red Sea” but we have to be present & repentant. ‘Let My People Go’, the movie/documentary by David Clement. rumble.com/v4hbzv0-full-movie-let-my-people-go-by-dr.-david-clements-watch-it-here.html?e9s=rel_v1_b David Clemet’s suppressed movie/documentary, “Let My People Go”, about election fraud and J6 is free for everyone to watch. This is a revealing appeal to ‘We the People’ and the Church to wake up from our indoctrination & brainwashing before our America is dead.
