Worth the Climb

Today our HD Team met up in the Prayer Tower for some devotional time and prayer. If you’ve ever taken the flights of steps up to the Tower you know that it’s quite a climb. You labor up the stairs, but then when you get to the top, it’s this peaceful, serene place above the noise and craziness of the world.

I couldn’t help but draw a comparison to what it’s like when you choose to spend time with God. It takes some work – maybe you have to give up a few minutes of extra sleep, or pass on a favorite TV show, or say no to adding another commitment to your schedule – but when you get that chance to get away to be with God you find a place of peace and comfort.

As we hustle and bustle about this Christmas season, join us in taking a still moment to spend time with Jesus. This quiet oasis of time with Him is well worth the effort.

Who knows? Maybe we’ll even see you up in the Prayer Tower!

Announcements:

  • Come and celebrate the real reason for the season at our Children’s Christmas Musical! Our presentations of the “Best Christmas Present Ever” and the “Living Nativity” will be performed on Saturday, December 13th at 5:00pm. Be sure to bring your children with you, because this family-style event will replace our Saturday evening services and children’s programming.
  • It's not too late for your preschooler to be a part of our Kids Boost Christmas Performance, "The Best Christmas Present Ever!" Stop by the preschool this weekend to pick up a performance packet or email children@radiantchurch.com for details.
  • We need your help! If you are not already helping with our Christmas Musical, we could sure use some extra hands for Christmas in the Courtyard. There are opportunities to serve for set-up the morning of Dec. 13, during the event, and with clean-up afterwards. If you are willing and able, please contact Michael Garland at 623.975.2662 or email Michael.Garland@radiantchurch.com.
  • Our Boys vs. Girls Canned Food Drive was a resounding success! 1833 items of food were donated to Radiant's Economic Relief Center. Although very close, girls came out ahead and will have their Ice Cream Party this weekend.
