Wow - Christmas is a Week Away

How are your preparations going?

Gifts bought and wrapped?

Menu set and groceries purchased?

House decorated inside and out?

What about your heart? Are you ready to marvel at the wonder of Emmanuel, God with us? Are you ready to open your heart to receive Christ once again as the babe in the manger who gives hope and promise?

Take 15 minutes, if you have not already, and consider what Christmas really means to you and to your family. I believe you will find it means more than a day on the calendar, more than a party, more than shopping. I hope you will decide that it is indeed important to keep Christ in Christmas. Therefore, I ask again, who will you invite to join your church family at:

• our Christmas Cantata offered by our choir and instrumentalists on December 22nd within the worship service?

• our Christmas Eve Service at 5:30 PM with guest soloist, Nicolai Janitzky?

• Our "post Christmas" casual time of worship and carol singing on Sunday, December 29th? A mystery instrumentalist will add to the festivities!

I look forward to meeting and celebrating this holy season with you and your guests.

Pastor Joanne
