The story of Christ’s birth is a story of promise, hope, and the greatest act of selfless love known to man. The story wasn’t created around the holiday; The holiday was created around the story.
Between the time of “The Story” and now, something has gone bad wrong. When Christmas is all over, many of us are left with presents to return, looming debt that will take months to pay off, and this empty feeling of missed purpose. Is this what we really want out of Christmas?
What if Christmas became a world-changing event again?
Join us for these mind-bending 3 weeks of messages that will challenge you to rebel against the social norm of the holidays.
At FlipSide in December we’re challenging the teens to sacrifice atleast one of their gifts for a needy family. If every teen gives atleast $10 over the course of the next 3 weeks we will put it all into a VISA Gift Card and present it to a needy family in the church. Parents, we’re excited about partnering with you this Christmas in helping to instill a greater sense of giving than getting in your teenager. If you have questions or would like to contribute, contact Pastor Matthew at matthew@rockwilmington.com or call 910-602-5300 ext. 105
