Christmas Lights

I've been thinking a lot about Christmas. And about lights. And about how there are hundreds of prophecies stretching, like a string of Christmas lights, from one end of the Old Testament to the other. Prophecies about the Christ. And about Christmas. Together we'll unwrap several of these in the weeks leading up to Christmas. Because beneath the ribbons and the wrapping paper, under the lid and below the tissue paper, are truths that will transform the holidays for us. Join us for any one of three weekend gatherings as we begin the message series Christmas Lights. This weekend we will also unveil the floorplan for our proposed worship space in Pflugerville. See the vision God has given us for this space and hear how you can help make it happen!

Not slowing down

Things haven't slowed down at all so here's another big-picture update.
  • New worship space - We are very close to signing a contract for the new worship space in Pflugerville. It's going to take significant giving to pay for buildout. Please pray about this.
  • Calvary Chapel Aggieland - It's been two weeks since our former worship pastor, David Reynolds, took over in Bryan-College Station. We donated a complete sound system that they were able to install last week. Soon you will be able to listen to David's messages on their website.
  • Operation Christmas Child - Our outreach was a huge success. We set out to fill 500 shoeboxes but actually collected over 600! Way to go Calvary Austin!
