Sunday, October 22, 2017 This week at White Stone…

Welcome! We feel very privileged to have you join us today at White Stone. We worship and serve an amazing God, and it is our desire that each person who walks into this building realizes how much God loves them. Our God is not a distant God, but a perfect Father who wants to interact with us on an intimate level. Unfortunately, the broken world we live in has caused us to live out our lives with broken identities. Thankfully, though, God has gone to great lengths so that when we truly encounter Him miraculously, He gives us a new identity and a new name. From that point on, our lives are powerfully renewed and profoundly different. We begin to experience life the way God intends it to be. Our prayer for you is that you might encounter God in such a way. Welcome to White Stone Community Church, Where a New Name Means a New Life. Pastor Luke Dye

Christmas Eve Services

Operation Christmas Child The greatest gift we have received is Jesus. But there are children who don’t really understand what that gift means. Operation Christmas Child allows our church body to give physical gifts to children, but more importantly, offer the Opportunity to learn about Jesus. Pick up a box and pamphlet today. Fill the box and pray for the child who will receive it. Return the box to church by November 12.

Christmas Eve falls on a Sunday this year. We will be holding the following services:

9:30 am 11:00 am 12:30 pm 2:00 pm

This year there is an important change restricting items. Please do not include any gum, candy or toothpaste. Questions, contact Rachael Mundschau at 262-965-3010 or [email protected].
