Vision – December 2007
From the Pastor’s Desk
Christmas is almost here. It is time to buy the gifts. We are bombarded with ads on radio, television, the LA Times and almost everywhere else telling us about the fabulous pre-Christmas sales on just about everything. On top of all of this we decorate the house, prepare meals for guests, and get ready to travel to see family. O, what joyful time!
Of course I am being a little sarcastic. If you are like me you are already getting a little tired of the Christmas rush and are wondering why we do all of this. Sadly so many people have lost touch with what Christmas is really all about as they go about their busy, busy, busy lives this holiday season.
The gift we really need this Christmas is time to relax and meditate on what God has done for us at Christmas. That’s why we will be coming together on Wednesday evenings this month. On December 5, 12 and 19 we will be gathering at 6PM in Montgomery Hall as a church family for pot luck suppers. Then at 7PM we will enter the sanctuary for candlelight vesper services to remember what it means to quietly wait for the Coming of the King.
Merry Christmas,
Jeff Howard, Pastor
