Christmas Eve

Are you ready for Christmas?  I visited in a home last week and the tree had all the presents under it.  They were wrapped in shiny paper with pretty bows.  The outside of the home looked like a winter wonderland!  My children have supplied their wish lists.  Deana and I have done our best to fill our home with Christmas cheer.  We’ve been reading an Advent activity book and calendar with Riley this year.  There is so much meaning in the Christmas season.  “It’s the most wonderful time of the year,” right?  It really is.

Christmas Eve is on a Sunday this year.  We’ll follow the normal schedule for Sunday morning: Sunday School at 9:45 and Worship at 11:00.  Then we’ll have one Evening Worship service at 5:00.  I want all of you to come and enjoy this special time together.  I also understand that some will have other obligations on the night of Christmas Eve.  If you can bring your family to church at 5:00 – come on!  If not, enjoy your family time.  Please don’t feel pressured in any way to come.  But for those of you who can attend, we’ll worship the Newborn Baby who became the Suffering Servant who became the Risen Lord and is now the Soon Coming King!
