Dear
Good Shepherd,
There
isn't much of an update this week, just a repeat of the
Christmas Eve and Christmas Day schedule from last week.
I
hope to see each and every one of you this Christmas Eve
and I hope you will invite your friends.
Merry
Christmas
CHRISTMAS
EVE SCHEDULE: Christmas
Eve is going to be a bit different this year because it
falls on a Sunday. That means there will be regular Sunday
services in the morning and then the Christmas Eve service
in the evening.
I
would be thrilled if you would go to both the morning and
evening services and I think you would get a lot out of
it. But if you must choose one please come to the main Christmas
Eve service at 6:00pm. The kids in the pageant and adults
in choir and who have planned the pageant have been working
their fingers to the bone for weeks now. There will be candles
and bells and carols and all the things you remember and
love about Christmas Eve, just a little earlier. Come and
let's worship the Lord together as we begin the celebration
of his birthday. Here is the schedule:
Sunday
Morning December 24th:
8:00am
Fourth Sunday of Advent: Holy Communion, sermon

RABBI
RON GOLDBERG: Anne
and I (and the kids) will leave for Texas the day after
Christmas and return after New Years Day. Messianic Rabbi
Ron Goldberg will fill in for us while we are gone. He will
lead both services and Christian Education in between. It
is always great fun to have him with us, so please do come
and enjoy worship together with Rabbi Ron.
There will be no bible studies or morning prayer until after
New Years Day. Enjoy the Christmas Break with your friends
and family.
