Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
One Christmas gift we would all be blessed to receive is peace. Peace in our homes, our nation, our world. Many think of peace as the mere absence of external conflict and strife. But the peace that God provides through faith in Jesus Christ exists internally in our hearts and souls and can be experienced no matter what may be happening around us.
We hope you can join us at CCC on December 17 Sunday at 10:30am for our annual Christmas Celebration Sunday. There will be special music and participation by our Sunday School kids. I will bring a message on God’s peace and there will be several gifts for our guests.
We also hope to see you at CCC the following Sunday, December 24, at 10:30am. We will not have our traditional separate Christmas Eve Candlelight Service in the evening this year but will instead incorporate aspects of that service into our Sunday morning service on December 24.
I trust all of us will focus on the real meaning of Christmas during this busy month. Let’s remember that Christmas is all about God’s great gift of His Son, Jesus Christ, who died for our sin and rose from the dead.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
“Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying, “Glory to God in the highest Heaven, and on earth peace to those on whom His favor rests.” (Luke 2:13-14)
