This week's announcements:
Good morning and happy Sunday and Merry Christmas! Welcome to our December 22nd, 2019 service from La Jolla Presbyterian Church.
Today is the fourth week of Advent, and the fourth week of our Advert Sermon series called, Making Room, a look at the Christmas story through the lens of hospitality, we’re called to make room for others, just as Christ makes room for us. Rev. Dr. Paul Cunningham is back in the pulpit this week and his sermon is titled, “An Unexpected Visitor” it’s a look at Luke chapter 1, verses 39-56, the story of Mary, while pregnant with the baby Jesus, visiting her cousin Elizabeth, who is pregnant with John the Baptist. If you would like to connect with our church, you can find our website at LJPres.org. We hope to see lives transformed by a relationship with Jesus, and we strive to be a place where you experience and are able to express that transforming love of Christ.
This Tuesday we are hosting four Christmas Eve services. On December 24th, there’s a family service at 5:00pm that’s lots of fun, with lively music and a shorter message. Then there are traditional 7:00pm and 9:00pm candlelight services, and finally an 11:00pm candlelight and Communion service. The 5, 7, and 9 are all in the Sanctuary, and the 11pm is in the Chapel located right off the courtyard.
Then, on December 29th, next Sunday, we’ll have one service at 10:00am in the Sanctuary.
