I love the Christmas story presented in the gospel of John. “And the Word became flesh and made His dwelling among us. We have seen His glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.” John 1:14

 

Christmas is full of symbolism and storytelling. The season of Christmas affords us great opportunities to consider God’s great love for us. We pass along family traditions while considering new ones each year. Traditions may change from daughters to grandsons. But every Christmas brings back fond and cherished memories.

 

We count down the days until Christmas and the giving of gifts as well as counting down the days until we celebrate the birth of Jesus. The celebration of the first advent gives great hope to our anticipation of the second advent to come.

 

Trinity celebrates the Christmas season in many ways. Inside our newsletter, you will find the many opportunities to join with us as we remember and celebrate Jesus’ birth. It is such a blessing to see our faith family together so often. I trust it will be no different this month.

 

In preparing for our Christmas sermon series I have been reminded of God’s timing. At Just the Right Time, we will cover not only the prophecy concerning Christ’s birth, but also God preparing the way; God revealing His favored one; God revealing His faithful one; and God sending Jesus, His Son. We are truly blessed and loved by our heavenly Father.

 

The stage is set, the actors are ready, the choirs rehearsed, and the worship scheduled. Don’t miss any opportunity to be with those who love you in the presence of the One who loves us most.

 

 

Merry Christmas!
