On the second Sunday of Advent the Peace candle was lit. Pastor Mark Abney titled his sermon The Genealogy of Jesus Christ from Matthew 1:1-17. Imperfect people were among the ancestors in Jesus’ family tree. But through 42 generations, God used them to bring about the birth of our Savior Jesus Christ. God can use you too to bring about great things if you allow Him to work in your life. God calls us everyday to follow Him and all we have to say is “Yes”.
On our prayer list this week we find Pat Kampe, Naomi Grace and J C Manley. Christian love and sympathy is extended to the Tom Graham family. We are encouraged to know that God hears and answers every prayer.
Birthday greetings go out this week to Melissa Willings Dec. 13 and Mary Barrow Dec. 14. We wish them both a very happy birthday and blessed year.
Gospel Kid’s meets on Wednesday evenings from 6:00 – 7:00 pm. This month our unit title is “Christmas”. Christmas is the time to celebrate God’s greatest gift of Jesus Christ.
