Worship Hint for Families
“Perhaps what happened was…” “Perhaps what he meant was…” There are many occasions in Scripture for us to speculate. Why did Herod SECRETLY ask the Magi about the timing of the Star? Was he already plotting his heinous attack? Was he afraid a public interview would be construed as support for a new king? We are not privy to many things we think we should know about. Instead, let’s focus on what we are told and why we are told those things. The Messiah came, God protected him, and the great plan of redemption went on.
What? Me worry?
Ø We meet for Prayer on Wednesday nights to take loved ones, missionaries, our own ministries here at PBC, and some of the concerns of this world to the Lord who helps. Come and join us!
Ø Kids Club will conclude this evening until after the holidays. It will resume on Sunday, January 7.
Ø Got any end pieces or unwrinkled scraps of Christmas wrapping or the cardboard rolls from the wrapping? Please save them for Abby Peffer. A collection box will be provided.
