Our children’s choir and preschool hand bells did an excellent job last night!   Thank you children for the reminder that Jesus is who Christmas is all about.  You all did a great job leading us in worship!  Thank you to the volunteers who have worked so hard with these children, teaching them the importance of worship and of having a relationship with Christ.

     Last night we were privileged to have a number of guests with us.   We were also privileged to see a number of folks accept Christ as their personal Lord and Savior.  Several also recommitted their lives to Christ.   Thanks to our children for being faithful witnesses to the gospel.  God used your witness in the lives of several folks.

     I hope you have taken opportunity to use your Love Your Neighbor cards to offer the hope of Christ to folks this Christmas.  I would love to hear your stories of how you have used the cards.  Email me at tim@lakeviewfamily.com or call the church and share them with me.

     In an effort to help us focus on Christ this Christmas, I will be starting a four part sermon series entitled “What’s So Merry About Christmas?”  This series will address how we can have peace, freedom, joy, and hope in our lives.  I pray you will invite a friend who does not know Christ to hear these messages.  It would be great if you would also invite your friends, family, and neighbors to our Christmas Celebration this Sunday night at 6:00PM .

     I hope you have a great day!

By His Grace,

Tim
