Thank you all for making our Christmas Eve worship such a joyful time of anticipation and celebration. It was a true joy to see and meet those who are so important to you. I know that the days around Christmas are so busy and distracting; to take a little more than an hour to worship with the people of God is a wonderful statement of faith. Both of our services (6:00 & 11:00) had a great mix of people and were a true blessing.
As you prepare for the new calendar year this week, I want to remind you that our church life is returning to its regular routine after the craziness that is Advent. You will note in this e-mail as well as in the church newsletter which will be in your mailboxes later this week a number of opportunities to be involved in the kingdom of God, and I encourage you to resolve in 2009 to involve yourself in a ministry that you might not have in the past. Mission opportunities, Bible studies, Sunday school, worship, joining or working with our youth ministry...these are but a few of the ways we can truly live out the calling that God has placed on our lives to work for the Kingdom.
I hope and pray that each of you has a wonderful New Year's celebration and that you truly live out all that God has in store for you in 2009.
See You Soon!

P.S. Please note that our New Year's Eve Come & Go Communion has been canceled for this year. Erin had some complications from her sinus surgery and will be having another procedure in the morning. My apologies for any inconvenience this may cause.
