Dear Members and Friends: Greetings and Merry CHRISTmas to one and all! It has been a
long time since our last newsletter. What better time to renew it again.
Advent is upon us and this is the time we prepare for the birth of our
Savior on the wonderful Christmas Day. God sent us the greatest gift of
all for mankind, to live among us and to provide the example of true
light and life. Oh, if only we could all live the same way Jesus did! We
strive to do so but always fall short and God knows this and still loves
us and forgives us when we ask and repent. This Christmas we are, as
usual, going about the "things and stuff" that is the commercial aspect of
the season. This year I urge you all, and me too, to stop and realize
that; yes we are anticipating the birth of Jesus, but there is another
Advent too. The Advent of His coming again to claim us once and for
all. We need to keep our eyes and hearts focused toward heaven and to be
ready for the coming of our Savior as a babe, and as our redeeming Savior.
We are sharing in the great gift and the great gospel of Christ this
Christmas, be sure to share it with someone you know that does not Jesus
as their personal Savior. Let them be in on and open the best gift of all
for Christmas, the gift of hope, peace, joy, love and Christ the King.
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL AND PEACE UNTO YOU!! Pastor Tom Bell

SCURRY’S TIDBITS Wow! Howdy folks, been away for some time but I am back and
glad to be here again. Merry Christmas to one and all and I can't wait to
get back into the swing of things here on the hill. Can't wait to see and
hear the pageant, go to all the parties, hear the choir's cantata, the
barber shoppers chorus that is coming, the Christmas Caroling, ringing the
bell for the Salvation Army (I will be inside someone's coat pocket
staying warm), and yes even Pastor Tom's messages on Sunday mornings.
Since I last wrote to you all I see the church has many new faces and
members and that is great. For those of you who are kinda new, please
watch your step especially when there is a party and food is around, don't
want you to feel bad if you step on my tail by accident, plus I think the
screams of the ladies hurts other ears besides mine. I want to take time
to say Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all of you right now! I wish
all of you find the true joy of the season and that is the love of God and
the birth of Jesus. Well that's all for now, got lots to do and little
time to get it done..................gotta scurry! |
