It seems hard to believe that Christmas and the
celebration of one of the most significant moments in
history is upon us. Over the last three Sundays, we
have explored the promise offered by the prophets,
making room for Him in our hearts and lives as we
recalled the inhospitality that greeted Mary and Joseph.
At least they were provided with a stable where the
savior of the world could be born in the lowliest of
places. This past Sunday, we were reminded of that
stunning announcement that came to the shepherds
and their reaction of sheer joy and wonder.
This coming Sunday, we will celebrate as the
children and youth share their special program with us.
All of this will come to a close when you are
invited to join us for a special service of Candlelight
and Communion on Christmas Eve at 7:00 p.m.
Yet it does not end there as we gather the
Sunday following Christmas to continue the celebration
of that sacred gift, God’s Son and our Savior.
On another note, I marvel at all of your outreach
efforts to serve those in need and to help make this
special holiday take on a deeper meaning for those less
fortunate.
Again, my deep gratitude to all of you for your
love, support, and acceptance as we work together to
realize God’s mission for First Christian Church.
I wish all of you the most blessed and wonderful
Christmas.
With His Love,
Pastor Nik
