JOY TO THE WORLD?
If you could use one word to describe Christmas, what word would it be? Some folks would use words like headache, busyness, expensive, or even stressful. For many people Christmas is just another day, just a little more expensive and a lot more trouble. How sad that an event that brought so much joy in Heaven should bring so little joy here on earth.
This weekend we're beginning a new Christmas teaching series called "Unwrapped." We'll look at the different gifts that God gave us at Christmas and the things that we need to do to experience them.
I hope you can join us this weekend as we look at "Unwrapping the Gift of Joy." As part of our celebration we'll have JAMPAC (Jesus And Me Performing Arts Choir) providing the Christmas music for each of our weekend worship services. Looking forward to seeing you there!
Embracing the journey,
Pastor Rick
