Christmas Eve Service

Welcome to the Scotch Ridge Presbyterian Church's website. We hope you enjoy the video of our Christmas Eve service. Our children read Christmas letters. The adults shared several readings and memories, Ryan Shirley and Joe Ellis sang "O Holy Night," and we finished the service with our traditional candlelighting ceremony. It was a wonderful night of worship!

Actions Speak Louder Than Words

Did you ever know someone who led by example. Joseph, Jesus' adoptive father was such a man. He faced fear, humilation, difficulty and tribulation, as he walked the path of obedience to God. Today's message from Scotch Ridge examines the life of Joseph. But first join us in our time of praise as we sing "What Child Is This" and "The Little Drummer Boy."

The message today, "Actions Speak Louder Than Words," is from Matthew 1:25-31.

THE END OF THE WORLD--Are You Ready?

Are you ready for the end of the world as we know it? Since 9/11 it has become clear we are vulnerable to sudden destruction. The lastest Hollywood offering, 2012, has got people thinking the end may be near. In Mark 13 Jesus talked about getting ready for those difficult end times. Today's message from Scotch Ridge will help prepare you. But first during our time of praise we sang "While We Are Waiting, Come" and "The King Is Coming."

Spiritual Innoculation

Have you received your spiritual innoculation yet? It will protect you from the soul infections and spiritual diseases of this world. In Matthew 12:28-34 a teacher of the law discovered how important this vaccine is from the Great Physician himself. But first, in our time of praise we sing "Draw Me Close to You" and "Just a Closer Walk with Thee."

Today we look at Mark 10:46-52 to see how a blind beggar, Bartimaeus, responded. But first we sang "Open Our Eyes Lord" and the "Untitled Hymn" (Come to Jesus) during our time of praise:
