Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea, About that time some wise men* from easteern lands arrived in Jerusalem, asking, "Where is the newbon king of the Jews? We saw his star as it rose,* and we have come to worship him."matthew 2:1-2

WoW!! What a Great Weekend! 53 attended the Christmas Eve Communion & Candle Light Service, message was "Preparing the Way for the Lord" how our church has been and still is Preparing the Way for the Lord. It is not something that happens overnight. Our family & generations before us have helped to put us each at this point in our lives as we "Prepare the Way for the Lord" for ourselves and for our next generations. Christmas Morning Service with Rev. Glynn Vickers was Awesome!

This is a devotional I read recently and I wanted to share... A tour guide was leading his party in Israel when they came upon a shepherd driving his sheep forward from behind. The guide found this odd, since most shepherds in the Middle East lead their sheep from ahead. He asked the shepherd, "How is it that you are driving these sheep? I have always been told that the shepherd here leads his sheep." The man replied, "The shepherd does lead his sheep. The butcher drives and I am the butcher! Which would best describe your life...led or driven? Do you find yourself being more lead in your day to day life...or driven? Are you leading a 'driven' life? Driven to be somebody, driven to make ends meet, driven to make something of yourself? If you are driven, then you are not listening to the voice of the Shepherd. You're listening to the voice of the butcher, who drives by planting fear and darkness. Stop fearing, instead be led by your loving Savior! The Lord is your Shepherd! He won't drive you. He'll lead you. Just follow and he will lead you...beside the still waters.

Just a reminder...Spirit of Giving is Saturday morning at 11am in Paris. If you want to experience a true blessing of blessing others and the real meaning of Christmas come on out as we hand out gloves, socks, hats, etc to the needy. There are supposed to be many other churches of all different denominations joining together in Jesus's name. WEAR A RED SHIRT IF YOU PLAN TO VOLUNTEER!

Numbers 6:24-26 "The LORD bless you and keep you; the LORD make His face shine on you and be gracious to you; the LORD turn His face toward you and give you peace."

What gifts has God given you? What's a gift you can give to others that doesn't cost any money?

"Splendor and majesty are before Him; strength and joy are in His dwelling place." 1Chronicles 16:27 God wants us to get joy from Him, not the things of the world. Happiness is based on happenings and joy is based on Jesus!

Family Movie Night, sponsored by the youth is tonight at 6pm! They will be showing "It's a Wonderful Life" and serving movie snacks and hot and cold drinks in the Fellowship Hall that will be transformed into a warm cozy living room atmosphere. Free of charge! Donations collected will go toward purchasing Spirit of Giving items and youth activities. **Christmas Spirit guaranteed, or you get your ticket money back!** We hope to see everyone there!

"God does not call the equipped, He equips the called." How do you feel about this saying?
