A Message from Dr. Brian Thomas

“Good News of Great Joy for Those in Darkness” | Luke 2:1-20

Join us this week as Dr. Brian Thomas guides us through Luke 2:1–20 in his sermon, “Good News of Great Joy for Those in Darkness.”

In Luke’s Gospel, the Good News of Christmas is set in the real world, which is often quite dark. The angels’ announcement of Christ’s birth comes to humble shepherds and brings them joy and peace to the glory of God.

Meal Support Needed

During this Christmas season, we have the opportunity to come alongside one of our church family members, Duane Bagdons,  who would be blessed by help with meals. Providing a meal is a simple but meaningful way to show Christ’s love and care.

If you are able to prepare and deliver a meal in the coming days, it would be a great encouragement. Whether homemade or store-bought, every gift is appreciated.

Thank you for considering how you might serve in this practical way during a busy season. Sign up here if you can help.

FaceBook Ads

Waterbrooke Outreach

We Need Help from You!

We're going to be running weekly facebook ads starting in January to reach out to our neighbors in Victoria.  We'll be inviting them to visit Waterbrooke.  

As part of each ad, we'd like to include a brief (2-3 sentence) testimonial from someone who attends church - a different person each week.

Please click on this link to watch a brief video describing what we're doing and why.  In this video, you'll meet Kenneta, who is collecting the testimonials after each service for the next few weeks.
