12/23/19 CHRISTMAS SERVICE
Our Christmas Sunday Service was wonderful. We had an open Bible Class with Biblical narrative and open discussion concerning GIVING THE GIFT OF LOVE and the difference it makes in personal, family and community relationships. Giving the GIFT OF LOVE to someone does not save anyone, but it is reflective of God's redemptive GIFT OF LOVE through Christ.
We talked about the difference THE GIFT OF LOVE would have made in the early life of Cain and others in the Bible, then I addressed the difference that GIVING THE GIFT OF LOVE makes in our own lives. Christians should deliberately give Love to others, on a continuous basis. REMEMBER, THE BIBLE TELLS US TO KEEP OURSELVES IN THE LOVE OF GOD. Giving LOVE to others keeps us in the love of God. Also, giving love is a way of sharing the redemptive message to the unsaved.
During our praise, proclamation an worship time we enjoyed great music, testimonies and an overview of the events surrounding the Birth of Christ.
Our Meeting Center looked great with all of the decorations and having a full house, having everyone recovered from recent sicknesses. A VERY SPECIAL BLESSING was the presence of our dear Cathryn Cushwa. She surprised us with a visit. We miss her so much. We celebrated her visit with all of us (18) eating together. Cathryn and her family mean soooo much to us.
We sang songs from our new hymnals and I addressed the continuing impact and influence of our first encounter with the Babe in Bethlehem. This included a recounting of those who encountered the New Born King in the Bible (Mary, Joseph, Zacharias, Elizabeth, Shepherds, Magi, Simeon, Anna). We should never forget or move from our first encounter with the Kind of kings.
A great day of friends and family.
DON'T FORGET OUR CHRISTMAS EVE SERVICE at the Ministry Center (Beaufort Shopping Center) on Tuesday at 7:00 pm.
MERRY CHRISTMAS
