Dear Congregation & Friends,

It seems like only yesterday that we were celebrating last year's Christmans. a whole year has quickly passed since then and we must ask ourselves this question; have we faithfully served Christ since last Christmas? In all honesty, some of you know without a doubt you have, and others know without a doubt you haven't!

As we approach this year's Christmas season, let us determine in our heart that we either strengthen our existing commitment to Christ, or if need be, renew our commitment to Christ! That would be the greatest gift you could give this season.

In an attempt to worship the Christ of Christmas, we are offering two special services this month; a Christmas play and our annual Candlelight Christmas Eve service!

The Christmas play will be on Sunday evening, December 19, at 6:00p.m. In this play, entitled "The Innkeeper," we see the power of the Messiah upon the innkeeper, orphans, and shepherds! In between scenes the children will be singing for us!

On Christmas Eve, we will be having our annual "Candlelight" service. This is always a special time of the year when we honor our Savior's birth in a very real way. It will begin at 6:00p.m. so that we all will be done early enough for other family celebrations. Make this service one of your family traditions!

May God bless you and have a very "Merry Christmas"!

Sincerely,
Greg Hudson
