Christmas War/Christmas PeaceThere is a cosmic war behind Christmas, but that also comes with Jesus wanting us to have His peace in this life. Oftentimes what sidetracks us from that peace is not always the cosmic war, but small interpersonal wars. The holidays bring many of these to the surface. So how can you find peace in those wars? Come and discover how to find peace in the midst of the battle. |

Joy For All PeopleThe Alliance Christmas Offering is one of the Alliance family’s key moments to expand gospel presence among the world’s remaining unreached peoples. It’s about all of us joining in to complete the Great Commission—by giving, praying, and participating in what God has commanded us to do. The gospel is, at its heart, good news of great joy. Those of us who are in Christ have already received the gift of hearing the good news; we are the fruit of a harvest already gathered in. But this good news of great joy is for all people—and we must share it with those who have yet to hear. |

Join a Rooted Group“And they devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers…and all who believed were together and had all things in common.” (Acts 2:42, 44) The believers of the early church were deeply connected to one another, to God and to their purpose as followers of Jesus. Do you long for this type of connection? Are you feeling a little stagnant in your spiritual growth? How do we live like those early disciples in our modern lives? Rooted groups are meant to help you practice the seven foundational rhythms of discipleship within a small group. Being part of a Rooted group will help you deepen your connection to God, the Church, and your purpose. Rooted groups will be starting in January. You can sign up for a group based on your availability. |

(Give yourself a high five today since you’re reading this newsletter! ). But what if there was a way that you could get the church information that pertains directly to you?
Coming soon, you will be able to download our brand new stand along Living Vine Church App. This app is literally “Church in your pocket”. We’ll be sharing more about this in the weeks to come, so stay tuned…
