On the Fifth Day of Christmas!

I want to wish all of you a continued Merry Christmas. Our family returned from my hometown yesterday where we spent some holiday time with my family. We had a great time but are glad to be home. I trust all of you are having a good Christmas-New Year break and keep in mind, just in case you are planning on taking your tree and lights down, that the Christmas Season is not over! According to the Christian Year we are to celebrate Advent, our preparation and anticipation for the coming of Christ, for the four Sundays (or in our case Saturdays) prior to Christmas Day. THEN, the Christmas Season begins and lasts for two more weeks! I was long confused about the 12 Days of Christmas.

There are many of us travelling this week and we all have our holiday obligations but I do want to encourage you to join us for our worship gathering tomorrow night. It will be the last one for this calendar year. All of the candles in the Advent/Christmas wreath will be lit for this special evening.

Also, all of you are invited to our home immediately after our worship time tomorrow night. It is a family fun night. There will be snacks, board games, and lot's of fun conversation.
