In a season often portrayed as joyful and perfect, the reality for many is far from it. "A Not So Wonderful Life" dives into the messy, chaotic, and challenging moments we often hide behind holiday smiles and picture-perfect scenes. This series will explore the struggles we face, the masks we wear to cover them, and how we can find hope and peace even when life feels anything but wonderful. Join us on Sundays starting December 1st at 9:00am or 10:45am, in person or online at fcchb.tv, as we discover the deeper meaning of Christmas amid life’s imperfections.
The holidays are here, and we have many opportunities for you and your family! From Live Nativity to Christmas Eve services, make this season meaningful with opportunities to connect, serve, and reflect at FCCHB! You can find everything you need at fcchb.com/holidays.
Step into the magic of Christmas at FCCHB's Live Nativity on December 5th and 6th from 6:00 to 9:00 p.m. Experience nine beautifully depicted scenes with live actors and animals, either from your car or on foot. There will also be some crafts for kids and hot cocoa for purchase. As you exit the nativity, you will get to enjoy a Sleigh Ride photo opportunity to create your family Christmas cards! You can then pick up your cards on Sunday, 12/8, at either our 9:00 or 10:45am service and use them to invite some friends to one of our Christmas services. Join us for this free, family-friendly celebration of Christmas and Jesus' birth. Each night requires many volunteers. From acting to animal handling, from greeting to traffic control, we have a place for you to serve. Click here to sign up!
Christmas Eve is a moment to step out of the busyness and into something deeper. Amid all the hustle, we often forget the true heart of this season. We invite you into a story of hope and peace, no matter how chaotic life feels. Whether life feels picture-perfect or anything but, this is your chance to experience the hope and peace we all long for. Join us as we gather at 5:00pm on December 23rd or 11am, 1pm, 3pm, or 5pm on December 24th to celebrate what Christmas is all about.

This Week's Scripture
Message Study Guide
Luke 1:5 & 2:1
In the time of Herod king of Judea…..In those days Caesar Augustus issued a decree that a census should be taken of the entire Roman world.
2 Kings 17:7 & 19-20
All this took place because the Israelites had sinned against the Lord their God, who had brought them up out of Egypt from under the power of Pharaoh king of Egypt. They worshiped other gods…..and even Judah did not keep the commands of the Lord their God. They followed the practices Israel had introduced. Therefore the Lord rejected all the people of Israel; he afflicted them and gave them into the hands of plunderers, until he thrust them from his presence.
Ezekiel 36:24-26
For I will take you out of the nations; I will gather you from all the countries and bring you back into your own land. I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you will be clean; I will cleanse you from all your impurities and from all your idols. I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh.
Luke 1:30-33
But the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary; you have found favor with God. You will conceive and give birth to a son, and you are to call him Jesus. He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David, and he will reign over Jacob’s descendants forever; his kingdom will never end.”
Matthew 1:20-21
…an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, “Joseph son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins.”
John 1:9-11
The true light that gives light to everyone was coming into the world. He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him. He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him.
John 1:12-13
Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God— children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband’s will, but born of God.
Matthew 16:24
Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me.
