Anticipation is building. Expectations are soon to be realized. Excitement is
in the air as we move closer to the day of our Lord’s birthday.
I guess the best part of the story is when the angels appeared to the
shepherds in the field while they were keeping watch over their flocks.
“I bring you tidings of great joy which shall be for all the people. For
to you is born this night in city of David, who is the Messiah. And this will
be a sign for you: this will be a sign for you: you will find a child wrapped
in bands of cloth and lying in a manger.”
How long had they waited to hear such news as this? More importantly, what
does this kind of announcement mean for us. It was no wonder that the shepherds
went with haste to see this sight.
Decorations are up. Hopefully, any Christmas shopping has been completed.
Therefore, in the coming week, I invite you to sincerely think about and meditate
upon what we will celebrate this coming Sunday.
Please take note: Christmas Day worship will be at 10:30 and you won’t want to
miss this special celebration.
The end of the year is upon us; therefore, if you would like to make
contributions to count in the 2016 tax year, offering plates will be available on
Christmas Eve as worshipers come forward to receive communion and pick up a
candle and an offering is also a part of Christmas Day Worship.
