Christmas Eve at Ingleside
Next Tuesday is Christmas Eve, and I hope you will join us for one of our four services.
As a reminder, no tickets are necessary for our Christmas Eve services. Seating is first come, first served. Doors to the Worship Center open 20 minutes before each service.
Three family services. Our three family services will be at 2:00, 3:30, and 5:00 p.m. Each family service includes a live nativity. The services are 45 minutes in length. No childcare is provided, and children of all ages are welcome.
One communion service. Our candlelight communion service will be at 7:30 p.m. It is designed for adults and families with children elementary age and older. No childcare is provided. All who are followers of Jesus and who have been baptized in his name are invited to receive the Lord’s Supper in this service.
In each of our Christmas Eve services, we will joyfully celebrate the birth of Jesus, the Savior of the world!
I look forward to seeing you on Christmas Eve!
Celebrating “Love Broke Through”
I am praising the Lord and giving thanks for his blessing of last weekend as we celebrated Christmas through our “Love Broke Through” musical presentation. We had 11,375 in attendance throughout the weekend – our highest ever!
I am especially grateful for Jonathan Green and our entire Worship Arts Team for their leadership. The entire presentation was done with God-honoring excellence.
I am also thankful for the more than 400 volunteers who served in a variety of ways, including those who drove carts in the parking lot, greeted attendees, served in our Bookstore & Café, served in hospitality, served in childcare, and beyond! This past weekend captured our belief that “every member is on mission.”
The gospel was presented, the Lord was worshiped, and hearts were encouraged and filled with joy. I am confident we will continue to see fruit from it in the days ahead.
New Bookstore & Café General Manager
I am happy to share with you that earlier this week, I invited Courtney McElveen to serve as the General Manager of our Bookstore & Café. Courtney has served on our Bookstore & Café team for three years as an Associate and, more recently, a Lead Associate.
She earned her undergraduate degree from Wayland Baptist University and her Master of Arts degree from Liberty University. She is married to Dusty, and they have adopted Courtney’s younger sister and younger brother.
I hope you will join me in welcoming Courtney into her new role as you have an opportunity.
With the affection of Christ,
