May God grant him and the rest of the elders wisdom and tenderness as they lead and shepherd this church. Thank you to Page Farmer and Bob Mack for their faithful service to Christ and to Oxford Bible Fellowship these past several years.

We have a full and rich service planned. We will participate in the Lord’s Table\, sing songs of worship\, and hear God’s Word from Micah 2:6-11. In preparation for Sunday’s message\, we encourage you to read the passage. Each week we provide discussion questions to help connect God’s Word to our lives.

SUMMARY:Sunday December 8\, 2024-- Isaiah 9:1-2
DESCRIPTION:We are excited to enter the season of Advent with you beginning this Sunday! The word advent comes from the Latin word adventus meaning arrival. Our Advent series this year is titled “Unto Us” as we take the next four weeks to walk through Isaiah 9 celebrating that unto us Light\, Joy\, a King\, and Salvation has came! \nThis Sunday we have the pleasure of hearing from Steve Hricko as he preaches from Isaiah 9:1-2. We encourage you to consider reading all of Isaiah 9 ahead of time to better follow along. \nTo help us better reflect and celebrate Advent\, Pastor Emanuel will once again this year be emailing a short devotional put together by Every Moment Holy. Each devotional comes with a fun Scripture memorization activity and discussion questions. This week’s devotional can be found here.
