A Note From Caleb Anderson

This is your CHRISTMAS COMPASS letter! Are you excited? You’re probably glancing at this on your phone in line at Nordstrom, annoyed that everyone else waited so long to do their shopping and they’re making you late to your next sweater party. So I’ll keep it short and sweet:

Christmas Eve Services:

24th: 2, 4 & 6p (all services at our usual Central Library Theater)

And don’t think it’s too late to invite your family and friends. If you have to incentivize them, pull out all the stops. It’s Christmas! And everybody needs to hear how much God loves them.

We’ll have our normal services on Sunday the 28th.

Then, we’ll be starting our new series called “The Pursuit of Happiness” on January 4th. Everyone fixes their lives around what they think will make them “happy.” Yet everyone has also found happiness illusive. There’s a reason for that. We’ll talk about the secret to unlocking the ultimate life that God offers—the life you actually want. Don’t miss this series.

And don’t miss the moments this Christmas. God is here. God is Good. And God is crazy about you.

Merry Christmas,

caleb

But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people.”  Luke 2:10

The promise of Christmas expressed in Luke 2:10 tells us that we have nothing to fear. God, the creator of the universe, our Heavenly Father, came to earth for every single one of us, clothed in the humility of a baby. The joy that we have from being in a relationship with Him – embracing the truth and the story and power of Christmas together – this is something you don’t want to miss! This is the message that the whole world is looking to experience this Christmas. I can’t wait for our Christmas services and to see you and your family and friends as we immerse ourselves in the power, wonder and truth of His promise of great joy for all people. I’m looking forward to these next couple of weeks with you. Don’t miss out! Join me as we celebrate Christmas together and then launch into our new series, The Pursuit of Happiness, beginning in January.

I’m praying for you as you spend time with your family and look forward to being together as we walk through the Christmas season and into the New Year together.

Peace,
Kyle
