Live Nativity and Candlelight Service



The teens and young adults of the church will be having a live nativity scene on Friday and Saturday evenings (December 14-15 and December 21-22) from 6 pm to 8 pm. Why not take a drive and come see us. This is such a busy time of year...it is good to "stop" for a few moments to reflect upon the LOVE that was shown to mankind over 2000 years ago, 'for God soloved the world that He gave...Jesus"! Christmas is the beginning of the story of redemption. He came to save us from our sins by dying on the cross of Calvary! JESUS is the reason for the season.

We will also be having a Christmas Eve candlelight service at 6 pm on December 24th...what better way to start Christmas than to come and rejoice in the birth of our Savior!

Special Christmas Program on December 9th


We'd like to invite you to a very special Christmas program at our church on Sunday evening, December 9th, at 6 pm. Jack Pearson, Mr. Song-Strummin' Storyman will be our special guest! Jack will be presenting "The Christmas Hope Chest" It is a program of songs, stories, and narrative that draws from the breadth of our western Christmas traditions. Jack brings new life to familiar carols as well as original songs with his guitar, fiddle and banjo and some unusual instruments like the jawharp, spoons, and his amazing amplified toy box lid! Anoka Wesleyan is located at 1930 Branch Avenue (next to Walgreens). Hope to see you there! Suzi

Thanksgiving Eve

Our Thanksgiving Service on Wednesday evening was a great time it was as we gathered together to share, sing, reminisce and give thanks. Everyone that took part in the service did such an amazing job, whether it was reading a verse or sharing from the heart. Thank you for making that a part of your Thanksgiving tradition. God is so good. It was also a blessing to have our son and his family with us for this time. It's a long trek from South Dakota.

Pastor's recovery is going well. Each day we are seeing progress! Thanks for your prayers and support during his recovery.

See you on Sunday,
Suzi

Doing Well


Thanks for your prayers for Pastor Doug. He is doing well and had his first physical therapy this morning on his knee. Please continue to pray for his recovery. We are so grateful that this surgery went so much better than his last experience. The whole procedure is so amazing. After two years, they have made several changes to the procedure! Thanks for your prayers, visits and calls. They are appreciated.
