We are blessed to have 17 devotionals written by our very own congregants. We began this past Monday and have had five thought-provoking devotionals. It's not too late to catch up.
There are two ways to access these devotionals. 

1. Opt-in to receive a daily email
2. Bookmark the dedicated devotional page to check back each day of the week. Once on the page, simply click on the date to be taken to that day's devotional.

We hope you find these writings encouraging and hope-filled!

As we close out this year, we would like to invite you to prayerfully consider giving generously toward our year-end giving goal of $338,000. Through prayerful discernment and the guidance of our financial advisory team, our goal is comprised of two parts: 

• $328,000 for December giving, to meet our 2025 Budget. UPDATE: So far we have brought in $19,856.95 toward this goal.
• $10,000 for the Evangelical Covenant Church/Serve Globally. We desire to help care for the most vulnerable while providing the most powerful resource–the Bible–where it is most limited. To that end: 
  • $5K to provide over 330 Bibles in local languages where access to Scripture is limited. 
  • $5K to help alleviate severe childhood malnutrition in the DR Congo by providing food, medicine, and training of health workers in Malnutrition Centers in Karawa and Loko. 

We invite you to join us for a special Christmas Eve service for the whole family. In each service, there is a component where children can participate. 

December 11th

Kids Crew is a free midweek ministry for kids ages 3 1/2 years old to 5th grade.   Kids Christmas Party is this week! This is the last meeting week before Christmas break. Future dates are posted on the kids page of the Coastline website!

Dinner is provided each week from 6:15-6:45 pm!

December 9th & 16th

Rally is our Tuesday night discipleship program, open to all students from 6th-12th grade. We meet at St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church from 6:30-8:30 pm. All of December we have Christmas games, activities, and hot chocolate.

 On December 16th, we invite all the youth to get dressed up for a Fancy Christmas Party—bring a dessert to share. Read more details in the youth weekly email.

Various nights (week of December 8 -11)

Community Groups are the best way to get more deeply connected at Coastline. These smaller gatherings meet in homes twice a month for Bible study, discussion, and relational connection, and the week in between groups gather for "social night" for bonding and fun!

It's Social Night week December 8-11th. This is the last meeting week before Christmas break.

Complete before December 15th

To help us plan for the future, Coastline has a brief survey that we would love everyone who attends our church to fill out. The survey has two steps. Please do them IN ORDER. Only one member of your household needs to fill it out. If you share a home with another family/friend, then please have one member from each family represented fill it out.

STEP 1:
Click below to look over your household information in our database. Ensuring anniversaries, birthdates and addresses are correct will help us, and allows us to make the survey itself a little shorter.

STEP 2:
AFTER you've completed looking over your household information, click below.
Most of the questions are optional. Any information you are willing to give us helps us as we plan.

January & February

This winter we are taking 45 Jr High and High School students to Hume So Cal for both long holiday weekends. Students can expect godly speakers, awe-inspiring worship, deep bonding opportunities, and hopefully snow. 

• Jr High Winter Camp is January 16-19th
•  High School Winter Camp is February 13-16th

Registrations opened up this past Tuesday and spots are filling up. A $100 deposit will secure your spot. Total cost of camp is $499.

LOOKING FOR A CAMP LEADER
We are looking for a female adult volunteer to attend Jr High Winter Camp on January 16th-19th. You will be leading a group of girls deeper in their relationship with Jesus and each other. If this sounds like you, please email Michelle Stout to discuss further (mstout@coastline.family) . Also, just an FYI, there is no financial cost to volunteering—we pay for your registration.

This Advent, join us at Coastline Covenant Church as we explore how every longing and fear of the human heart finds its answer in Jesus. In a world filled with uncertainty and striving, we look again to the One who fulfills every ancient promise—the true King, Prophet, Priest, and Savior.

Each week, we’ll discover how Christ reigns with justice and peace, speaks truth into our confusion, restores what sin has broken, and rescues us with power and grace. Advent invites us to slow down and rediscover hope in the person of Jesus—the One who meets us in our fears and fills us with joy.

The Advent season is always a deeply meaningful time at Coastline, filled with beauty, community, and tradition.
