In December We Let the Schedule Lie Fallow
WEEKLY MEETINGS ARE CANCELLED FOR DECEMBER
In the world of agriculture, soil must remain “fallow” once every few years to maintain its fertility for years to come. To lie fallow is to lie unplowed and unplanted for a time in order for nutrients to be restored. In the month of December, we let our church calendar lie fallow. We cancel small groups, men’s and women’s meetings, and any other mid-week activities. Why? Not so that you can pull away from the life of the church, but instead to press into natural and more intimate opportunities to relate to your church family and neighbors. The holiday season is notoriously one of the busiest times of the year. We want to help you to take advantage of the few free moments you have to spend unhurried, unscheduled time with one another and with family for the grand purpose of allowing your heart to be refreshed by the work of Christ, fellowship with the saints, and cultivating friendships with unbelieving neighbors.
WHAT’S NOT CANCELLED?
Regular Sunday Services
Run Club - a great opportunity to build and enjoy relationships with fellow church members and Santa Ana neighbors
Carols in the Park, followed by an all-church Christmas Party on Sunday, 12/15 (watch the blog for more details)
Christmas Eve Candlelight Service (Ebell Club at 5:00PM)
