From Your Pastor's Heart - December 8, 2024
December 8, 2024, 5:00 AM

Good Morning Family!

     Today, we will be looking at the theme of Love!  Specifically, I want us to look at The Love of the Parents of Jesus… their love for each other, their love for their Son, and their love for the Father of their Son.  This love story is like no other… EVER!  After the morning service, we will stick around for a few minutes to call together a special Business Meeting in the sanctuary to consider our Operating Budget for 2025.  The Lord has been so good to His ministry here with which He has entrusted us.  It should not take too long as this is a very open and transparent process and so let’s come together and move forward into the new year with the ministry of the Lord.                      

     Each week in December, you see below the Sundays of the Advent season and their associated message themes for 2024.  We have some great music and specials lined up along the way from our musicians that will bless your hearts and lead you to worship. And I’ll probably show up with my phonograph with some Christmas classics to bring back a few memories and smiles along the way during my sermon times.

First Sunday, December 1       HOPE… The Hope of the Prophets

Second Sunday, December 8     LOVE… The Love of Jesus’ Parents

Third Sunday, December 15      JOY… The Joy of the Shepherds

Fourth Sunday, December 22    PEACE… The Peace Announced by the Angels

December 24       Christmas Eve Candlelight Communion Service    6:00pm

Fifth Sunday, December 29       CHRIST… The Offering of Christ

     As always, my prayer is that we would all, “Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the Word of truth.”   II Timothy 2:15         

God Bless Us… Every One!
