Hope you have a Merry Christmas! The Christmas Eve services at Eastside kept us busy yesterday -- but it was fun seeing so many people -- coming to worship on Christmas Eve. Last night we drove to Maple Valley to be with friends before coming home to make final preparations for today. Right now everyone is still asleep. After a day of opening gifts and having a nice dinner together, we will make the long drive to Southern Oregon. I look forward to a week off with family. Blessings to you!
Advent V:
Read: The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth. (John 1:14)
Light: Light all of the Advent Candles and then the JESUS Candle
Read: The dictionary defines joy as: "The emotion of great delight or happiness caused by something exceptionally good or satisfying. A source or cause of keen pleasure or delight." Tonight is Christmas Eve. What are we most thankful for and happy about? There are so many things to be excited and joyful about at Christmas, but the most important thing is being thankful, happy and excited about our savior Jesus. He is full of grace and truth and the gift of His life for us is so very important, we would have to ask ourselves the question; "Where would we be without Him?"
Share: Each one say something about Jesus for which they are particularly happy for.
Pray: Praise and thank the Lord for His goodness to you as individuals and families. Thank him for the privilege of celebrating His birthday together.
