Reflections By Rev. Dan Bogre
The greatest gift you will ever receive is waiting for you this Christmas. It’s a baby wrapped in swaddling clothes and lying in a manger. Will you be there?
Churchwide Advent Study
This Advent season, our 4-week Advent study will be based on Susan Robb’s The Angels of Christmas. We, as a congregation, will explore the four angelic visits with Zechariah, Mary, Joseph, and the shepherds, surrounding the birth of Jesus.
Circuit Rider – November 2023

Christian Stress Management
Scripture reminds us to hand over our anxiety, worries, and concerns to God. Philippians 4:6-7 says: “Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” A biblical response to stress is one that fosters dependence on God.
Successful Events!
Your support of this year’s Plate It Forward at Houlihan’s (twice! February and June) and Dine To Donate at Taza (September) raised significant funds for our Twice Blessed Free Store. All three fundraisers were successful, with total revenue of $1,425.90!
Pray Like Jesus
As you approach your life over the next few weeks, ask yourself, “what would Jesus do?” “Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.” Live a purpose-driven life that is Christ-centered.

Reflections By Rev. Dan Bogre
I wanted to start this Circuit Rider article with a quote from Genesis 12:1-2 which says, “The Lord had said to Abram, ‘Go from your country, your people and your father’s household to the land I will show you. I will make you into a great nation, and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing.’”

Reflections By Rev. Dan Bogre
We will never stop working to make sure that both of our campuses are not just one day a week churches. It is not about being busy, it is about being called. As people feel called and led by God to study the Bible, volunteer in our ministries, come to church on Sunday, give generously, pray fervently, and love exponentially, our church will always be growing into the church that God has always created us to be-a church helping people meet Jesus Christ in the midst of their story.
