Pastor Clayton ~ December

Mary Martin - November 27, 2024

Waiting can be a difficult task. Waiting for something you’re excited about is even more difficult! Just ask any child on Christmas Eve. The anticipation of all the celebration can make time seem to slow down. I remember many times growing up, where I just could not fall asleep on Christmas Eve because I was ready for what the next day would bring. Every time I looked at the clock I had hoped hours had passed, only to see the sad reality that it had only been a few minutes that had gone by.

During the season of Advent, we are made like young children again with the excitement of what is coming! For those first three weeks, we wait to celebrate the arrival (which is what Advent means) of our Savior, Jesus, who came as a baby to be the greatest gift to the world. To help build your excitement about this day, join us for our Midweek Advent meals and services on December 4, 11, and 18. Our meals will start at 5:00 p.m. and our worship service will start at 6:00 p.m.

During the month of December, our Youth Group will continue to come together for worship and meals together. On December 4, the Youth will help to prepare and serve our first Advent meal together.

Once Christmas Day comes, though, we are not done waiting! Instead we look to the future with excitement for the second Advent! We wait for the return of Jesus, who will arrive on a day we do not know to bring all of those who are waiting, both dead and alive, to be with Him for all eternity. So join us as we wait together for the greatest gift we have ever been given.

Blessings,

Pastor Bryce
