A note from the Pastor

Dear Church Family,

The celebration of the Advent/Christmas season at Countryside is awesome to behold: the stunning decorations, the gorgeous music, the many special events, and the smiles and children’s faces. What a joy! I love our church family.

We have some exciting news! After careful consideration, our Sunday morning worship times will return to 8:30 am, 9:45 am, and 11 am starting on the first Sunday in 2025, January 5.

In order to give our hard-working staff some time to rest after a busy holiday season, the church will be closed from December 25 through January 1. This means that the church will be closed on Sunday, December 29. The worship service will be pre-recorded and posted for you to watch at home.

Finally, please mark your calendars and plan to attend the Leadership Summit on Sunday, January 19, 12-2 pm in the celebration center. This is a very important meeting for everyone who serves on a ministry team or committee, all church leaders and staff. Lunch and childcare will be provided.

In Christian Love,

Pastor Michael
