To all who are spiritually weary and seek rest: to all who mourn and long for comfort; to all who struggle and desire victory; to all who sin and need a Savior; to all who are strangers and want fellowship; to all who hunger and thirst after righteousness; and to whosoever will come, this church opens her doors wide and offers welcome in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Sherman Church Christmas Eve services Monday, Dec. 24, will be at
7:30 p.m., a Family Celebration Christmas, and 10 p.m., the traditional
Service of Lessons and Carols, followed by singing “Silent Night” outside
if weather permits by candlelight.
