Christmas Give
Christmas Give is a seasonal effort to focus our giving to advance the gospel. You often hear us challenge you to make your largest gift a kingdom gift. When you make a Christmas Give gift, everything goes to Give2Go, our over and above missions fund. Every dollar given leaves our church to advance the gospel to our neighbors and the nations.
There are many things that Give2Go supports, many different recipients of Give2Go disbursements. Consider two of our largest financial investments:
- The largest recipient of that giving is the International Mission Board. The IMB has about 3,600 missionaries serving all over the world. We were just joined by one of those missionary families last month during Neighbors & Nations – our partners Shaun and Elizabeth Noble in Uganda. Many of you are familiar with the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering. The IMB relies greatly on the generosity of God’s people in churches across the country to send and sustain missionaries like the Nobles.
- East Tennessee Biblical Counseling exists to partner with local churches to provide Christ-centered biblical counseling to people who are experiencing a difficult season of life. In 2026, EastTNBC will seek to provide 1500+ hours of biblical counseling that will directly impact 100+ lives in the Tri-Cities area and plans to launch the third biblical counseling training cohort to continue to train people across multiple churches to do the work of biblical counseling. You can also give directly to EastTNBC.
So, when you give a Christmas Give gift, it goes to Give2Go. You’re helping us support these two key ministry partners to advance the gospel here and around the world. Remember, you can give to Christmas Give the rest of the month online or you can bring it to our Christmas Eve service next Wednesday.

As followers of Jesus, our salvation is the defining characteristic of our lives: We are no longer dead but alive! But so many in our world today offer a hope apart from Jesus. Many even believe we can find that hope within ourselves. Sometimes we answer with a concise gospel presentation. But other times it takes some dialogue. We’ll talk about what it means to live as ambassadors for Jesus in a world growing continually hostile to the gospel. Learn More

PreSchool BIG TRUTH:
Jesus Followers Trust The King
BIBLE VERSE: LUKE 1:38
And Mary said, “Behold, I am the servant of the Lord; let it be to me according to your word.” And the angel departed from her.
BIG IDEAS
- We trust the King’s perfect plan.
- We trust the King with our doubts and fears.
- We trust the King by obeying His Word.
TALK ABOUT IT: (Use the questions to discuss the Big Truth)
- What did Mary do after the angel of the Lord visited her? (She trusted God and did everything the angel of the Lord told her to do.)
- Why can we always trust God? (God is always faithful and keeps His promises.)
As a family, memorize Luke 1:38 by creating macaroni art from the verses. Write the verses on a piece of paper and then use uncooked macaroni and glue to outline the verses. Say the verses out loud together several this week.
