Sunday December 29, 2013

Merry Christmas to you and your family! I pray that you will have a safe and joyful holiday.

Post Christmas can be hard: the let down of all the excitement, the family leaves, the decorations come down...how do we keep hold of the joy, peace, hope and love that we have during advent? Come as we discuss holding on to Christmas in your hearts and moving into a brand new year.

I am praying for you and I hope you have a wonderful Christmas!

Hello! I hope you are finding joy this holiday season.  I know the holiday season can be hard for some, I pray peace for you this year. 

On Sunday I will continue preaching on the gifts of Christmas by discussing Love! Love (along with joy, hope and peace) is a gift of the advent season as we await the telling of the coming of the Christ Child.  In fact, love is what it all comes down to.  Love is the greatest of all of these. 

Advent is a time of expectation and waiting - an exciting time of year when we celebrate the gift of Emmanuel - God with us.  Join us Sunday as we celebrate once again, let's celebrate the love that came to us in the Christ child so many years ago. 

On Tuesday, December 24th we will have a Christmas Eve service.  We will sing carols, take communion together and sing by candlelight.  This is a family friendly service, so bring your whole family and celebrate our reason for joy, peace, hope and love!

Blessings to you,
Pastor Shannon
