Worship & Events
Women of Faith in the Limestone County area will meet on December 5, at 12 noon, at Northcrest Church of Christ, 918 N Hwy 171, in Mexia. The meal will be catered so bring $10 if you are able to help cover the cost. Also, bring a new, unwrapped toy to donate to Toys for Tots and help make a child's Christmas special.
As we anticipate the coming of Christ, let's decorate the church with greenery, a Chrismon tree, and the Advent wreath. Come join in the fun at 10:30 am. Stay a lot, stay a little--we'll start in the Parish Hall.
For the season of Advent, Journeying the Way of Love offers four sessions to be explored as we await the coming of Christ by moving through the first two chapters of the Gospel of Luke. Luke’s gospel provides a pattern for understanding how we can live the Way of Love as individuals, as families and friends, as a community, and out in the world.
Meet in the Parish Hall at 9:30 am on each Sunday of Advent. Everyone is welcome to attend.
