Weekly Update 12/16

THIS SUNDAY AT 10:15AM - We are excited for you to join us in person or online this Sunday at 10:15am! We are celebrating the Christmas season with Advent and a special sermon series titled "He Came." This Sunday, we are studying in John 1:14-18. We will rejoice in the coming of Christ to Earth as a helpless babe. When you check in on the church center app, be sure to select "in person" or "online", depending on where you are joining us from.

YEAR END GIVING STATEMENTS - We will be preparing to send out year end giving statements soon. Would you please help us by making sure your mailing address is up to date? You can do this by editing your profile in our online directory, or by emailing info@faithchurchdallas.org with your correct address. Thank you!

SEATING SPACE FOR GUESTS - Church family, we would like to ask you to help us make our building an even more welcoming atmosphere! We would love to care for latecomers or newcomers by leaving seating space available toward the back of our worship gathering. If you are willing and able to fill in the seats closer to the front, we would greatly appreciate it! 

WE NEED YOU - Last Sunday to donate! We need your HELP...er...um... what we need is literally HELPER. Here's what we mean. Over the years we've collected tuna for Christmas Cheer and this year we are switching things up and collecting 'helpers' .. tuna helper, hamburger helper, and chicken helper. Please bring items to put in the Christmas Cheer barrel in the church lobby. We will collect through Sunday, December 19th. We love supporting Christmas Cheer as this organization recognizes, encourages, and offers food boxes to people in our community who could benefit from a little extra help on Christmas Eve. If you, or someone you know, would like to sign up to receive a food box, please sign up here. If you would like to help pack food boxes, please join us on Christmas Eve morning, 6:00 am at Polk County Fairgrounds.

CHRISTMAS GENEROSITY - Starting now through December 31st, you have the opportunity to contribute to a special Christmas offering. Your tax-deductible donation, above and beyond your usual giving, will be divided evenly in these three, great areas: Jumpstart our efforts to re-furnish & redecorate our children's ministry rooms, bless those in need in our community via our Benevolent Fund, and bless our missionaries with a financial gift. If you would like to make a donation that is above and beyond your ongoing financial support of our church, you can do so on the Church Center app (click "Give") or online at www.faithchurchdallas.org/give - please select the "Special Year-End" designation. You can also contribute via check, made out to Faith Church with "Special Year-End" in the memo line. Thank you so much for your cheerful generosity!

CANDLELIGHT CHRISTMAS EVE CELEBRATION - We invite you to join us for a one-hour, family friendly Christmas Eve celebration on Friday, December 24th, at 4:00 pm. Kids of all ages are welcome to join for the whole gathering! We can't wait to celebrate with you all!
