Christian Church

Larry Wittmer gave the Communion meditation Sunday about God’s promise that we’ll come directly into the presence of God. (ref: Romans 8, Isaiah 52 and John 14).

Pastor Chase Riebel gave the sermon on “Preparing to Give Thanks.”

We must know the source of where our thanks is due, and that God is a great king above all gods, God holds ALL in his hands, and he watches over us. (ref: Psalm 95:1-8, Luke 17:11-19, 1 Peter 1:6-9, Philippians 4:6-9, 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18). To hear the sermon in its entirety, go to www.colonychristianchurch.org.

Cowboy Church

Pastor Leo Ramsey opened the service Sunday at High Point Cowboy Church.

Continuing to expand on Jesus as The Word, Apostle Jon Petty read from I Peter 1:22-2:3. God’s Word does not change; Jesus made everyone righteous so we can walk and talk like Him.

The church will host an all-church holiday dinner following the service Dec. 9; more details are to be announced.
