Advent Series Guide
The author of Hebrews captures the profound journey of Christ, from His humble birth to His majestic reign. Hebrews 1:1-4 declares that Christ is the radiance of God's glory and the exact imprint of His nature, emphasizing that Christmas celebrates not only His miraculous birth but His ultimate supremacy. The God of the universe stepped down from His throne, took on human flesh, and went to the cross to purify sins, giving us the ultimate gift—His forgiveness.
Series Outline:
December 1: The Radiance of God (Hebrews 1:1-4)
December 8: The Divine Son (Hebrews 1:5-6)
December 15: Above the Angels (Hebrews 1:7-9)
December 22: The Unchanging and Eternal Lord (Hebrews 1:10-14)
Candlelight Service
Join us for a special Candlelight Service on December 22nd at 6 PM as we celebrate the birth of our Savior! Instead of our Sunday morning gathering, this evening service will feature the Christmas message, worship through song, and a beautiful time of reflection with your church family.
This will be a family service, with Refuge Kids in the sanctuary to worship alongside us. Let’s start a new tradition together, rejoicing in the light of Christ this Christmas season. See you there!
Benevolence Giving
This Thanksgiving and Christmas season, Refuge Church is committed to serving families in need. Your contributions help provide Thanksgiving meals for those who might otherwise go without, gifts for children who might not receive any, and additional support for our foster families to ensure the children in their care experience the joy of the holidays.
Let’s come together as a church to reflect Christ’s love through generosity and compassion. Consider giving to our benevolence fund to make a lasting difference in our community.

Women’s Retreat
Save the date for the second annual Refuge Church Women's Retreat!
Join the women of Refuge Jan 31-Feb 1 for a 2-day retreat. We will explore how God is our refuge throughout seasons of life, worship together, and spend time in fellowship. Come as you are - anxious, in need of rest, lonely, restless, or wherever you are - and take refuge in God our fortress.
The retreat will take place Friday evening through Saturday evening, with the option to stay overnight (space limited) or commute. We will meet at Linda Gould's home in Rio Pinar. Cost TBD. Look for a registration link coming soon!
