Hopefully for you it has been a week of gratitude, and like we talked about this weekend, you’ve had the opportunity to “be the one.” We had a great time Wednesday night in the Chapel in an intimate setting sharing all that we are thankful for. It was a time of sharing and being a family together. We have a lot of exciting activities planned for the Christmas season. The Tree Lighting will be something you won’t want to miss. It will be a fun night of singing, and contests…and food…and, we are bringing in real snow! And of course we will be lighting the tree and celebrating Jesus’ birth. For Christmas Eve, we have a very special night planned. We want to help you celebrate this season in a compelling and powerful way, and part of that is experiencing Christmas with your church family as well as your community. That said, think of these events with your friends and neighbors in mind.

You may have noticed a little construction by the office building, we are putting in a baptism. It is going to become a great part of the church, a place where we can experience life-change and celebration. If you haven’t been baptized, now is the time to start thinking about it. As we go into this season, I am thankful for you. I love walking through life together; growing closer to each other and to God.

Blessings,
Jeff
