Christmas Update

My son, Paul, arrived home this week. He has been in Baghdad, Iraq for the past 15 months as a soldier in the US Army and this Sunday after service we are having a church luncheon to celebrate Paul’s safe return. Please come!

Don’t forget Candlelight service on Christmas Eve at 6:00 pm. This is my favorite time of the year. The short service will include Scripture reading, Christmas Carol singing and I’ll share a special Christmas message. This is our way of keeping Jesus as the reason for the season.

Isaiah 9:6-7
For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given;
And the government will be upon His shoulder.
And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor,
Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
Of the increase of His government and peace
There will be no end,
Upon the throne of David and over His kingdom,
To order it and establish it with judgment and justice
From that time forward, even forever.
The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.

Merry Christmas,
Pastor Bob Engelhardt
