We are entering the “Most wonderful time of the year!”. Gotta say, I love me some Christmas time. I am not upset about decorations coming out early and I have already bought two Christmas gifts! That may be a record for me.
A couple of things I want to encourage you to consider for this Christmas season.
1. Consider making a gift to International Missions and the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering this year. Giving through Lottie Moon or to a mission project is one way of getting the absolute best bang for your buck. This is always a part of our Christmas celebration.
2. Consider how you will help someone else this Christmas. Do you know a single mom in need of a little help? Maybe a young family under-employed or unemployed? It can be kind of fun to find a way to be a blessing. Maybe your connection group will take on a project that allows you to interact with a family?
3. Buy a tree and help send someone to Haiti. I love the idea of a fund raiser where those going on the trip help raise the funds for their trip! You would probably give to them anyway. Why not buy a tree, a wreath, some decorative garland or a meal! Hey, maybe you would buy a tree for someone who could not afford one?
4. Take advantage of the Christmas Invite cards available at the welcome centers. We took one to lunch today to invite the server at one of our favorite restaurants. Pretty easy to ivnite someone we already know…I think she will attend.
It’s the most wonderful time of the year…let’s help make it that way for someone else as well.
See you Sunday,
Pastor Tom
