Greetings in name of our Savior born in Bethlehem, Jesus!
What a celebratory time of the year. The joy of this season is evident throughout our community and nation. We all desire these days to be different than others throughout the year. Yet, it seems that the everyday comes along and brings us down during this Christmas celebration. But we must remember why we celebrate Christmas in the first place - it is because of our SAVIOR's birth. We need to be saved from this sinful world, our sinful flesh and the effects of sin. That is why God sent His only Son born of a virgin in Bethlehem - to save us from all of this trouble. The trouble is still with us as long as we live in this world, but through our loving relationship, by faith, with our Savior, Jesus, we have conquered. Hope, peace, joy and love are all ours. Sin no longer has its hold on us. This is the joy of salvation that we lovingly share with our family, co-workers, friends and neighbors when we celebrate with them the birthday of Jesus our Savior.
I pray that all of you and your family and friends have a very blessed Christmas celebrating our Savior's birth in Bethlehem. May the love of God in Jesus be the source of your joy and peace this Christmas and on into the New Year. MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
In our Baby Savior,
Pastor Randy

Blessings Brothers and Sisters!
We are getting closer to celebrating the birthday of Jesus. As we remember the virgin birth of Jesus as the Son of God/Son of Man we wait in hope for His return someday to take us home to live with Him in the Father's house. Our world believes that Christmas-time is the only season to be nice and giving, but as followers of Jesus we know that this is the way that we are to live our lives 24/7. For us the wonderful joy of giving is ours throughout the entire year, because the joy comes from our salvation in Jesus. Woo! Hoo!
I am praying that all of you have a wonderful time with family, friends, co-workers, even strangers that you serve during this celebration of Jesus' birth. Not all of our lives are perfect that is why we need Jesus. Only He can give us the joy of salvation to share with those around us. Only He can help us to be forgiving, like Him, to those around us. Only He is reason we celebrate CHRISTmas in the first place. I pray that the love of the Father given to us in His Son, Jesus - born in Bethlehem, will be so overwhelming in you that this love pours out to those you are around this Christmas season.

Blessings in Jesus Brothers and Sisters,
What an uplifting worship last Sunday. Having combined the 8:30am and the 11:00am services to one at 10:00am it was wonderful to have many voices and it was great to see everyone together. The children were great as they sang to us about "Diggin'" in the Word of God for the "Truth" about life. All around I had a fantastic time I hope that you did as well.
We are moving toward Christmas where we will celebrate the birthday of our Savior, Jesus, and we will anticipate with hope His return. Our family worship will take place on Friday, December 24 at 7:00pm. It is going to be an exciting and meaningful worship service. Also, we will celebrate the Lord's Supper on Christmas morning, Saturday, December 25 at 10:00am - as we remember that Jesus was born to set us free by His death on the cross.
I thoroughly enjoy this season. We are presented with many opportunities to share the love of Jesus in many different ways. I just love doing it. We can share Jesus' love by bringing food items in and helping to feed some families in our community. Just take a tag off of the tree on the table at the entry to our church building, purchase the item(s) and bring them in and put them in the shoppoing cart next to the tree. Thank so much for all your help, you will certainly affect some family's Christmas in a joyful way.
Looking for Jesus' return,
Pastor Randy
