Life gives us opportunities to love.
There was sickness that kept several from gathering with us yesterday. A loved one passed away. A new baby entered the world! Someone's in surgery this morning.
All of those things (And probably many more I'm not aware of..) are part of living life. Yesterday we talked about love giving us life. On the other side, life gives us opportunities to love. Love your neighbors this week. Love your family. Love your church family.
Ending 2024 in celebration!
Our kiddos did a great job with Away in a Manger yesterday! And I kind of wanted to go to the Jesus birthday party in the next gen space! But we're not finished this week!
We're going to celebrate the light Christ brings at our Christmas Eve Advent/Candlelight service Tuesday at 5pm.
And then during the last Gathering
Gloria in excelsis Deo!
I appreciated D.J. reminding us yesterday of what we're singing when we begin the run of "Glo-ooooo-o-ooooo-o-ooooo-ria, in excelsis Deo!" Glory to God in the highest!
I'm giving glory to God for almost $15,000 given to the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering.
I'm giving glory to God for a church that doesn't just give, but also goes.
I'm giving glory to God for a family that's not just giving and going, but also growing - in their love for Jesus and one another.
Merry Christmas, CCC!
