This Week's Sermon Information:
Sermon: Longing For More: We Waver
Text: Isaiah 40:18-26
Key Verse: Isaiah 40:25 - To whom will you compare me? Or who is my equal?” says the Holy One.
Sermon Snapshot: Created as image-bearers of the LORD, our lives were intended to be filled with joy. But infected by the virus of sin, our sickness leads us to search for joy in places and sources from which it cannot be found. Our thrills soon go flat and leave us disappointed. Only by the grace of Jesus do our hearts find true love and a source of life that gives the joy we were created for.

Longing For More Joy
Isaiah 40:12-26

Our hearts long to be filled, and often we look at things and people to do that for us.  What God reminds us of through Isaiah 40 this week is that only He can truly fill that longing.  There is no one or nothing that can fill us with the sustaining joy that God alone longs to provide.

• Discover Your Bible will meet in the Library. This group will be studying “Discover the Gift of Christmas”.

The Anchor Youth Building is open almost every single Tuesday and Thursday night (except on holidays) throughout the year for students to drop in and hang out!  There is no cost (it's completely free), and any students who want to attend, who are currently in middle or high school, are welcome to join us! 

The gym is open for various gym activities like basketball, volleyball, floor hockey, wiffle ball, etc.  There is always a free meal to enjoy, like tacos, spaghetti, nuggets, or other home cooked meals.  The game tables and video games will be up and running, and it's a great place to meet all of your friends after school.  The doors open at 3:00, and we close at 8:00, but students can arrive and depart anytime within that time frame.  

So, students... If you're looking to get out of the house, and a great place to meet up with your friends... The Anchor is THAT place!

So, parents... If you're looking for something for your kids to do during those long winter months (and beyond) that is free, and provides a positive and supervised place for your students to be... The Anchor is THAT place!

Come check it out and see for yourself if it's a good fit for you and your friends!  You've got nothing to lose.  It's free
