CBCInTheKnow – December 2023

On Sunday, December 31, a new teaching series will begin at Celebration Baptist Church. The title of the series is CHRISTMAS GIFTS. The Biblical narrative includes many prophecies and details about the birth of Jesus. One part of the Christmas story, though it occurred sometime after Christ’s birth, involved a group of wisemen presenting gifts to Jesus. Those gifts were gold, frankincense, and myrrh. Were these just cultural gifts or was their more significance to those gifts than meets the eye at first look? Join others from Haskell and the surrounding communities on Sundays at 10:30 a.m. throughout the month of December as we notice the Christmas Gifts of the Bible.
