There are 5 things I wish to tell you about this week:
1. Mitten Tree - I love days like today! Why?
Because today we delivered the presents and food to Edwana and her family.
It is hard to describe how shocked she was when the 2 full carloads of
presents entered her home! Edwana wanted to thank everyone for their
gifts. You brought the love of Christ into this home this Christmas!
2. Sunday - Invite a friend to our Sunday service
where we talk about Jesus, often times the hidden character of Christmas.
(John 1:1-5)
3. Christmas Eve - Don't forget the Christmas Eve
Worship Service this coming Monday at 7:30PM. We set the time early
enough so that you can go open presents with your family when you get home!
4. Prayers - Christmas and Easter may be the only time
that some people will come to church this week. May we be bold and invite
them to be our guest. May we be loving and respectful when we talk with
them. May we be faithful when God asks us to follow up with them after
they visit.
5. The End? - In case there is no service as we know it
on Sunday because the world has ended, I am so glad to have been the pastor of
Celebration Community Church. It has been a joy and honor working with
you to reach people with the fierce love of God! Jesus spoke often about being ready (Matthew 24-25).
My hope is that we have done all that we can to make you spiritually
ready for whatever is to come, tomorrow or some other day.
One thing I know, we have a sure hope in our great God: “God
is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. Therefore we will
not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of
the sea, though its waters roar and foam and the mountains quake with their
surging.” (Psalm 46:1-4, NIV).
