FROM THE PASTOR

Matthew 1:21 “She will bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.”
December has arrived and with it comes all the hustle and bustle but let us not forget the joy and anticipation that comes with the CHRISTmas season. But what is the real meaning of Christmas.
Come discover the answer to that very question as we celebrate the Advent season together, which begins on Sunday, December 1st.  This is where we celebrate the coming of Jesus into our world. Each Sunday of Advent will help us prepare and remember the real meaning of CHRISTmas. Please allow this time to remind us of the HOPE, PEACE, JOY and LOVE that we can experience during CHRISTmas and beyond.  To go along with the Advent celebration, I will begin our CHRISTmas sermon series, and this is where we will find HOPE, PEACE, JOY and LOVE.  
Please pay close attention to the newsletter and weekly bulletins for all the activities that will be going on in the month of December.  Such as the “Joyful Noisers” CHRISTmas Caroling which will be on Tuesday, December 3rd, 10th and 17th @6:00pm; we will conclude the month on Monday December 23rd and finish the last one on  December 30th. We will meet at church at 6:00pm each week. Come join us as we sing, proclaiming to our community the true meaning of CHRISTmas
We will also have our Copeland “ThanksMas” family dinner on December 15th after our morning worship service.  Then on December 21st will be ourHappy Birthday Jesus” party from 12:00pm-2:00pm, everyone is invited.   On December 24th @7pm we will have our CHRISTmas Eve Candlelight Service. 
To finish off the month of December, we will have our NEW YEARS EVE FELLOWSHIP at the church starting at 7:00pm until midnight. Come fellowship with us as we bring in the NEW YEAR together. Also, please mark your calendar as we continue our study of the book of John. We will conclude this bible study on Wednesday, December 18th.
There are several opportunities in December to connect to our community as well as connect with each other through fellowship.  Come let us adore Him, CHRIST the LORD!!!!  Let us focus on the greatest birth in history, the birth of our Savior and Lord Jesus Christ.
Jesus Is The Reason For The Season!
Pastor James
