Sunday December 4, 2011

Greetings! This past week was a good one, I spent time with my family for Thanksgiving and we watched our pianist, Stephanie, get married. There is much to be thankful for. We are now into the Advent season, it is a time of celebration and anticipation for the nativity of Jesus.

This Sunday is the second Sunday of Advent and I will be preaching about letting love in. Last week we talked about making room for Jesus in our lives and in our hearts and this week we are going to talk about making room for love. Read 1 John 4:9-12 in preparation.

I am praying for each one of you!

Greetings! This week we get to celebrate a holiday where we give thanks for the blessings in our lives, for what are you thankful?

This Sunday is the first Sunday of Advent. Advent means "coming" and it is a time of preparation and anticipation for the coming Christ child. Do you have room in your life and your heart for Jesus? This week we will be talking about how to make room in our lives for Jesus. Read Luke 2:1-7 in preparation.

I am thankful for each one of you!

Good morning! I hope that this finds you well. This week is the last "normal" week before we go into the holiday season with Thanksgiving and Christmas. I truly enjoy this time of year, I hope you do as well!

The last two months we have been dealing with Frances Chan's "Crazy Love." It has been a blessing to me and I hope that you have a chance to read it, even if you aren't in one of our IOU groups.

Sunday is our last week of the series and I will be talking about the crux of the matter. We have been given all this information about loving God in a crazy way...but now what? Where do we go from here? I will be preaching on walking our talk.

I also want to remind you today that you are loved. I am praying for you and I hope you have a wonderful week!
