The leadership team of O’Fallon Assembly hopes that you have a very Merry Christmas and an amazing start to 2010.

The following are opportunities to celebrate Christmas and the history altering arrival of Jesus Christ.

On Sunday, December 13th, at 10 AM, the children will be presenting the musical drama The Great Late Potentate. Arrive early to get a good seat and be sure and invite your friends and family for a great show. The children have been working hard in preparation for the event. It is going to be a great time and all in attendance will be blessed. Nothing compares to the impact of children sharing about God’s love for us during the Christmas season.

On Sunday, December 20th, at 10 AM, the adult choir and orchestra will be presenting the musical drama The Christmas Offering. As we read through the Christmas story we find several moments of precious offerings: Christ offered Himself, the innkeeper offered a humble cattle stall, the wise-men offered their costly gifts, the shepherds offered their solemn praise, the angels offered their majestic worship, and Mary offered her very own life. Today, because of the amazing gift Christ gave, each one of us has something special to offer – both to Christ and to others. The Christmas Offering will be a great event to share with your family and friends.

On Thursday, December 24th, at 5:30 PM, we will be holding a vey special Christmas Eve Service. It is a wonderful time to celebrate the arrival of Jesus. It is also a beautiful time of heartfelt worship, congregational singing, special music, and passionate prayer. We also will partake of communion to honor the sacrifice Jesus made for us (which we celebrate at Easter). This one hour long event is a great gathering for you and your family as you celebrate the birth of the Savior. Be sure and make it a part of your family’s Christmas tradition.

On Sunday, December 27th, at 6 PM, we will be celebrating the New Year in a special New Year’s Eve Times Five Service. Join us as we reflect on God’s goodness to us as a church family in 2009 and begin focusing our attention on the opportunities and adventures God has for us in 2010.
