Dear Faith Family-

Many of our church family will be away this weekend, visiting friends and family. Please remember in prayer those who are traveling.

If you will be in town, I hope you will join us for our Candlelight Christmas Eve Service, Saturday evening at 6:00pm. As has become our custom, this will be a family service; all ages will be joining together in the sanctuary. We'll have Christmas coloring pages for the younger ones, and I'll be inviting all the children to join me as we retell the story of Christmas. This year's service will be different from the ways we've done it in the past. I really hope you'll be able to join us for it!

On Christmas Sunday morning we'll be worshipping together at 10:30am. While Easter falls on Sunday every year, rarely do we have the opportunity to celebrate Christmas Day with Sunday worship. Please join us for this special Sunday morning worship time.

As you exchange presents this weekend, I hope you'll pause to remember the tremendous gift given us by God on that very first Christmas, as well as the continuing gift of a caring, loving church family He has given us at Faith.

May God be present in a special way in your life this Christmas. And may He bless you as you continue to walk with Him.

In His love,
