what YOU need to KNOW

---

WELCOME to FBCScottsdale We’re glad you’ve chosen to worship at FBCScottsdale this morning. If this is your first time, we would love to get to know you a little better, so please fill out the card that is inside this Worship folder. You can put the card in the offering plate as it goes by. Enjoy the service!

The vision of FBCScottsdale is to be a light in the community, where people come as they are to worship and explore God, connect with people, and get involved in ministry to the whole person: body, mind, and spirit.

Christmas Eve Services What a great chance to invite your family and friends to be a part of our community. The concert will be on Tuesday, December 23rd and Wednesday, December 24th at 7:00p. Early childcare (crib to age 5) will be provided at the concert on the 23rd only. Come early for some hot chocolate and cookies in the lobby. Doors open to the lobby at 6:00p and doors to the sanctuary open at 6:30p. Toys for THREE:18 Ministries As a part of our Christmas Offering this year we are collecting toys for the children’s Bible Club that THREE:18 Ministries oversees on the San Carlos Apache Reservation. The unwrapped toys are due today, please place them in the box in the lobby. Thank you for your generosity! Christmas Photo Booth Make sure you get a fun Christmas picture taken in the lobby today before or after the service. We will post the pictures to our Facebook page by 3:00p today. Make sure to “like” us while you are there! facebook.com/fbcscottsdale Combined Service and Pancake Breakfast Next Sunday, December 28th at 10:30a we will have a combined service with music styles from both services. But don’t just show up at 10:30a. Instead, come at 9:00a with the whole family for a delicious pancake breakfast for the whole church. Marathon Sunday We have the chance to worship all together again on Sunday, January 18th. The Rock ’n Roll Marathon makes it difficult for people to get here on a Sunday morning. So let’s meet at 5:00p. Everyone bring your favorite soup or chili to share. We’ll eat together in C1 then worship together at 6:00p. End of Year Giving Thank you for your faithful giving through out the year. If you are planning on giving an end of the year gift, please make sure it is postmarked by December 31st or for your convenience you can give online at any time. Weekly Financial Update Actual Giving: $8,740 Weekly Budget Need: $13,020

SERMON NOTES December 21st, 2014

I AM the Good Shepherd “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. 12 The hired hand is not the shepherd and does not own the sheep. So when he sees the wolf coming, he abandons the sheep and runs away. Then the wolf attacks the flock and scatters it. 13 The man runs away because he is a hired hand and cares nothing for the sheep. 14 “I am the good shepherd; I know my sheep and my sheep know me — 15 just as the Father knows me and I know the Father—and I lay down my life for the sheep. 16 I have other sheep that are not of this sheep pen. I must bring them also. They too will listen to my voice, and there shall be one flock and one shepherd. 17 The reason my Father loves me is that I lay down my life—only to take it up again. 18 No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have authority to lay it down and authority to take it up again. This command I received from my Father.” (John 10:11-18, NIV) 11
