We exist to awaken this generation to new life in Jesus Christ.
We’re so glad you’re here! If you’re new to Awakening, we would love to get to know you and for you to get to know us! The best way to do that is by filling out a Connection Card.
Advent Week 3 | Behold, the King
There is just something about the name of Jesus. His is the name that will not go away. Two thousand years later, the name of Jesus is still a part of our cultural landscape. Political people use His name to try to win votes or an argument. Hurting people pray in His name to bring comfort and help. Spiritual people sing songs about the name of Jesus. And just about every person has yelled His name when smashing their finger with a hammer. Why? What is it about the name of Jesus? Where did his name come from? Why is it important? And what significance does it hold for us today?
Bring a friend and join us this Sunday for Week 3: Behold, the King as we dive into Matthew 2:1-18! We will also have a special performance from our Kid’s Choir as they sing Awakening’s latest song We Wait For You.
Christmas Eve
In the hustle and bustle of the holiday rush, the flurry of to-do lists, and the frenzy of festivities, we find ourselves caught in a whirlwind that leaves us exhausted. More often than not, the most wonderful time of the year tends to be the most stressful time of the year. What your soul needs is a moment to stop. To catch your breath. To let your heart be filled with wonder.
We invite you to Christmas Eve at Awakening to pause amidst the holiday noise and experience the peace of Immanuel, God with us.
Sunday, December 24th at 9:30am or 11:15am. Kids Ministry babies – 5 years old available.
