Monterey Christian Church (Disciples of Christ)
One of the joys of this season is coming together to renew our community ties. We invite you to join us at 11 a.m., Sunday, Dec. 18, for a worship service that will include a children’s Christmas play. Then, at 11 a.m., Sunday, Dec. 25, as we will observe the Christmas story sung in all the favorite Christmas carols. Come sing and celebrate with us. Come early and stay after to enjoy conversation and refreshments on both dates.

There’s a group of people in North Carolina who call themselves People of the Second Chance (POSC).
One of the things they do is throw parties — for people just out of prison, for recovering drug addicts, for misfits, for the discouraged, for the uncelebrated and forgotten, for the overlooked and hurting, for those bowed down with guilt and shame.
What they do is backwards and upside down. The parties aren’t for the straight A student, the athlete of the year, the one who does things right most of the time.

Bro. Bill’s message was from Psalms 23 giving us encouragement in life and victory in following Christ. The evening message was from Luke 15 encouraging us to look at people and things with the heart of Jesus.
