Christmas in July

As I write this, I am sitting in the office listening to Christmas music.  It is time for Christmas in July!

This week, we are celebrating the birth of our Savior.  Our services will be full of Christmas music and we will rejoice in the birth of the Baby of Bethlehem.  It is a wonderful time to connect with our community of faith.

The angels sang, "Glory to God in the highest."  We will  join in giving God all of the glory and thanking God for sending Jesus to earth.

Christ is truly the greatest gift ever given, and, as Adam Hamilton says, "a gift you will never outgrow."

Jesus is with us always and everywhere, as he lives in our hearts.  The immeasurable love of Christ fills us and flows out of us into the world.  We are called to serve Jesus by living lives of love and by shining his light in to the dark places of this world.

I hope and pray that you are filled with Christmas this week, and that you share the good news of our Savior.  The world needs to know that there is an answer to the problems of our times.  That answer is Jesus Christ.

Let us always cherish the Baby of Bethlehem and tell the world that the Savior is here!

Blessings,
Pastor Linda
