“3 Things to Make This December Special”

3 – Take a Spiritual Next Step:

Each one of us needs to take next steps with Jesus.  That may mean getting baptized this Sunday at Utah Pool.  When you do this, you will be going public with your relationship with Jesus. You will also be sharing it with everyone at the Baptism Celebration this Sunday at 5:30PM.  This may mean, for you, serving somewhere at Elevation.  The month of December is a great time to start. We will need more people to serve during our Christmas Eve services because we will see a large group of new people coming and we want them to have a great experience here at Elevation and you can be a part of that by serving.  You can serve in the Worship Arts Team by contacting Tim Hanebrink, timelichase@msn.com. Tim is looking to have a group of carolers for our Christmas Eve services.  You can serve on the Ekidz Team by contacting Nancy Bloyer, nancy.bloyer@elevationcc.com. Nancy is going to be having shepherds walking through the Ekidz rooms and we would love for you to be a part of this as well.  You can serve in the First Impressions Team by contacting Ryan Duncan. Ryan.duncan@elevationcc.com. Ryan will need more volunteers so that our first time guests experience is enjoyable.  So, we need you to take a next step!

2 – Give to the IMPACT Offering:

This year all of us at Elevation will be coming together to make an IMPACT offering. This offering will be above and beyond our normal 10% tithe.  We have set a goal for twenty thousand dollars and we are on the way there.  We want you to sit down with your family and friends and see how you can make this Christmas about others. Make this Christmas special by giving to something that is going to change people’s lives. When you give this year, you will be giving to each area within Elevation.  Your gift will help to enhance our EKIDZ experience. It will also improve your experience on Sunday mornings in our worship services. Some of the funds will also be given to first impressions to enhance the experience of our first time guests here are Elevation.  Finally, when you give, we will be giving 5,000.00 to the Miracle House in Kenya.  Make and IMPACT today, you can go to our ONLINE giving and give there or you can mark on your envelope this Sunday “IMPACT” or any of the other Sundays this month.

1 – Remember that Jesus came for the Hurting:

You have a chance to make December special by inviting people that you know to come hear about Jesus at our Elevation Christmas Eve Gatherings.  This year you can use our Elevation Christmas tickets to invite friends and family.  My wife Michelle is making cookie plates for the people on our block and taping the tickets to the plate for our Christmas Eve gatherings.  You can pick up the tickets and our new building cards, which are available at our Guest Services table. Remember that we have two services. The first starts at 4:30PM and the second starts at 6:00PM. Each service can seat 250 people.  Make this December special by allowing the people you know to find out why they call Jesus the “Prince of Peace”.
