CHRISTMAS EVE

Join us for the Christmas Eve service at Wesley at 6PM! This service is designed to be at a family friendly time, so if enough of us come, they might continue to offer it!

May this holiday season find you all blessed with family and friends and the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ!

Merry Christmas!

He's Almost Here...

We've had a week FILLED with holiday events. The youth did a great job with "The Best Christmas Pageant Ever". I know everyone had a good time; it was fun to laugh at the jokes (intended and unintended). Wednesday night the children did a wonderful job with their presentation. I was pleased so many people stayed to watch the performance. The Cherub Choir was so full of personality, and the SPIRIT kids had a great sound for such a small group. Any opportunity to see the puppets is a treat, too!

All these fun events can leave us feeling run-around and tired; maybe even a little crabby. I know on Wednesday I started my day at 7:30 and got home around 9PM (I had an event AFTER church, too!) and was pooped. But being in fellowship with all of you really helped lift my spirits and stay in the spirit of the season. And isn't that the reason for these holiday season special events - to give us a moment out of the ordinary to come together and worship? As tempting as it is to cut things from the schedule, I am choosing to embrace them as opportunities, despite the inconvenience. So far, works for me... anyone else have survival tips?

Friday Night Fun

Friday's holiday get together proved full of laughs! Most of the class was able to attend, and we managed to completely redesign the back room at Monterrey's, as well as work one poor server to death. The ornament exchange was tons of fun, with much stealing, opening and ooh's and aahs. The best behaved guest was Noah Harrell, not much of a suprise considering the company. Merry Christmas to all, and to all a Good Night!
