Live Nativity 2020
Join us this year in continuing the tradition of the Live Nativity at WCBC. Plan to drive through the displays on Friday, Saturday or Sunday evenings between 6 to 8 p.m. December 18th, 19th, and 20th.
Please note the following changes this year: To preserve the cherished and authentic atmosphere of the nativity, we will be asking people to NOT wear a mask while they are outdoors portraying a character. To facilitate a safe environment, we are requesting people to sign up in households groups for the angels as well as the Mary & Joseph characters. Wisemen & shepherds can safely distance outdoors without masking.
Volunteers are needed to play parts, kitchen help and help with costume changes. Sign-up sheets for live characters are located on the Communications Table. Or feel free to call and we can find a spot to add you and/or your family to the list. Call Eldon @815-878-5738 or Nathan @815-719-3058.
Feast of Trumpets Breakout Discussion Questions: 4-26-2020
We hope that our church body will continue in breakout style discussion over the phone and in other creative ways as well. Eldon has provided small group questions to facilitate the post sermon discussions. Even though we have to keep our social distance, we sincerely hope that we can be spiritually near to one another.
- Based on the examples of the trumpet calls described in the Old Testament today, what do you think is the primary purpose of the trumpet call when Jesus returns? Do you think it has different connotations for different groups?
- In the Jewish community, the feast of trumpets is a time of repentance focused around the example of the submissive attitude of Isaac in Genesis 22. As you re-read that story, in what ways can our eyes be opened to see Jesus? How does it relate to what Eldon has preached today?
- Can you remember a specific time in your journey of faith that God opened your eyes to a particular truth in His Word? Can you share an example?
And Elisha prayed, “O LORD, open his eyes so he may see. 2 Kings 6:20
