Light the World 2018

'Give as He Gave'

Giving of one's time, talents, and love during Christmastime can bring deeper purpose and meaning to a season in which we celebrate the birth of our Lord and Saviour.  

We can all follow His example by uplifting ourselves, our families, and our communities -- making the world a better and brighter place for those around us.  

Each week leading up to Christmas Day is an opportunity to explore the way Jesus Christ lived and resolve to do the same as we serve one another.
