Merry Christmas!

Posted on December 24, 2015 by Pastor

Another Christmas Eve is upon us with a bit unusual and unexpected weather I might add. I think it is the first time in my 43 years we were under a tornado watch on December 23. Life is full of twists and turns – unexpected happenings and outcomes.  Sometimes those are good and other times not so good.  That first Christmas God certainly didn’t meet the world’s expectations in coming to earth in a completely new way.  The way God came was one not of power, fame, and fortune but rather to a remote village of no significance, to an unwed teenage girl who gave birth in a stable.  Things don’t always go as planned but the promise holds true that God meets us no matter where that is or what has happened.  On this holy day, my prayer is the peace of God which has come to us that first Christmas in a babe wrapped in cloths be with you!  May you know, feel, and trust the wonderful, grace-filled, love God has for you and for all!  Merry Christmas! – Pastor Chad
