Christmas is just around the corner and I am so excited. Tomorrow, I will be dressing up the Preschoolers in nativity garb. The little ones make the cutest sheep, angels, shepherds, Mary and Joseph that you will ever see. On Sunday at the 11:00 am Service, the Sunday School will be presenting their Christmas program.
Don’t forget this Sunday is Christmas Sweater Day. Dig those sweaters out of the moth balls and have fun at TLC.
On Christmas Eve, we will be celebrating the birth of Jesus with three unique services. A delightful Children’s Service will be held at 4:00 pm. There will be several special music offerings from our Splash Children’s Choir, from our Middle School Students, and from Karl Olsen. We will sing your favorite Christmas Carols and with the help of our children we will build a live nativity.
At 7:00 p.m. and 9:00 p.m. on Christmas Eve, the sanctuary will be aglow with the flames of 400 candles as we sing Silent Night, share Holy Communion, revel in the Christmas Gospel, and be blessed by a variety of special musical selections.
On Sunday, December 25th you are invited to join us for a reflective Christmas Morning Service at 9:00 am. There will be a festive coffee hour following the service. Bring Christmas treats, cookies or sweets to share.
Christmas is just around the corner and I am so excited. Thank you for sharing the joy of this Holy Season with me.
Ho Ho Ho! – Pastor Jim
PS: I just have to say this. The 8th Commandment DOES apply to Social Media. For your own good, and for the good of your neighbor–Please do not break any commandments!
OK—the 8th Commandment: “You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.” What does this mean? We are to come to the defense of our neighbor, speak well of them, and interpret everything they do in the best possible light.
In Social Media and in life—“if you can’t say something nice, then don’t say anything at all.”
