Program Details:
- Adult Bible Study: Words of Life
Nearly everyone has heard of the Ten Commandments, the list of “thou-shalt-nots” found in the Bible. Jesus saw these commandments not as onerous burdens, but as guideposts to help us experience a good and beautiful life. Join others from Memorial as we take a fresh look at these ancient words. - Youth Small Group: 6:30 – 7:30 p.m.
- Children’s Choir: 6:00 – 6:30 p.m.
- Kid’s Bible Study: 6:30 – 7:30 p.m.
STAR OF BETHLEHEM
The city of Bethlehem will soon come to life in our parking lot. Before you know it December 10 and 11 will be here and the 2022 drive-thru nativity story will be presented once again!
Village people are needed to make Bethlehem a bustling city. Saturday and Sunday nights will be from 5:30-8:30 pm. There will be two 45-minute shifts with refreshments in between. This is a great way for entire families to participate together. You will enjoy the food and fellowship provided for cast members and workers, and most of all, the fun of being in the village and a part of this production.
If you have previously participated, or are new to this event, please call or email Tim Lyons and let him know of your desire to be in the cast this year. You may reach him by email at tlyons00@gmail.com or 336-259-6920 by phone.
Volunteer today! Be a part of this gift to our community.
