John 1:17,18
Worship Hint for Families
Some modern Americans react to Christmas not so very differently than did many Jews back in the first century: disappointed.
Back then, the hyped anticipation of Messiah was dashed by the meek manner and the redemptive ministry of Jesus. He was no conquering hero, he did not expel Rome, and there was no resurgence of political Israel.
These days we have depression, loneliness, and sometimes suicide. Many are either disgusted or given over to the crass commercialism of the holidays.
The problem? Wrong expectations. Christ didn’t come to make life better. He came to make us better for life. Adjust your expectations and Christmas becomes all it should be.
Ø Card Shower fellowship on Thursday, December 28 from 10:00 to 12:00. All ladies/girls are invited to make cards for Lois Croup. Enough cards are wanted to send one every day for several weeks.
Ø End pieces or unwrinkled scraps of Christmas wrapping are requested by Abby Peffer. If you have some to give, there is a collection box in the foyer. Thank you and
Merry Christmas!
