Season’s Greetings, Happy Holidays, and of course Merry Christmas! For many this is an absolutely wonderful time of year, gathering with family and friends to be thankful for all of our blessings and everything God has given us.  For some this can be a challenging time remember and reflecting on family members who are now in heaven and other events that might make this time difficult.  Our church family has had six members pass away in the past month and a half, that’s a lot for any congregation or family. There is sadness when a person leaves this earth, yet we also are thankful that God is now caring for them. However, with Thanksgiving just passed; Advent now here and Christmas coming soon, it is my prayer that you individually and together as church family that we can truly support and care for one another. We do not know when God will call us or when Jesus will return, so let’s live and work on earth as God would want us to; living out the Advent Sunday themes: hope, peace, joy, and love. Blessings to you all and never forget the real reason for Christmas. In spirit & love, your pastor,

In spirit,
