#sundayworship #adventpeace #PursuingPeace #ChristsCalm #NBFFC #PeaceInChrist #ChristianBrotherhood #GodlyMen #ChristmasHope✨ Grateful for a Beautiful Morning of Worship ✨
Thanks to everyone who joined us for worship on this Second Sunday of Advent as we reflected on the message “Pursuing Peace, Christ’s Calm in Christmas Chaos” from John 14:27, Isaiah 26:3, and Philippians 4:6 7, shared by Rev. Dr. Gordon Barrows. What a powerful reminder that Christ offers us true peace in the middle of life’s busyness and uncertainty. 🕊️🎄
✅ Three Practical Takeaways from Today’s Message:
• Receive Christ’s peace daily, even when circumstances feel overwhelming.
• Refocus your mind on trusting God instead of dwelling on worry.
• Turn anxious thoughts into prayer with thanksgiving.
💒 Ministry Thank Yous:
Grateful appreciation to our worship team, organist Dave Green, pianist Debbie Green, AV tech Matthew Green, and choir director Bill Young for sharing their gifts. 🎶🎹💻🎤

🎄 Morning Worship – Sunday, December 7, 2025
🕊️ “Christ’s Calm in Christmas Chaos”
📖 Scriptures: John 14:27, Isaiah 26:3, Philippians 4:6-7
📍 With Rev. Dr. Gordon Barrows
The holiday season can bring joy- but also stress, busyness, and even anxiety. In the middle of it all, Jesus offers us something the world can’t: a deep and lasting peace. 🌟
Join us this morning as we lean into the promises of God’s peace, even when life feels anything but peaceful. Rev. Dr. Gordon Barrows will guide us through Scripture that reminds us:
“Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you.” – John 14:27
Whether you're feeling frazzled or full of Christmas cheer, you're welcome here. Come worship with us and rediscover Christ’s calm in the chaos.
💬 Drop a “🙏” in the comments if you’re joining us!
📣 Share this with someone who could use a word of peace today.
