Welcome back. You belong here.

Every time I go to the mall I hope no one sees me.
“Do I know that person? Yikes! I think they’re from church, noo!”, “Wait, that’s not them, yeaaaaah!” “That was a close one….”

Funny, being a last minute shopper is hard work but fun.

And yet, I’m done and today Saturday, I am NOT SHOPPING. I am praying for all those that did or are shopping right now. Remember, it is better to give up that parking spot than to receive. And don’t say anything to anyone you’ll later regret.

Tomorrow, I do the 10:45am and 6pm services. The 6pm is different from the 10:45am in that it’s an adaptation from the 9 Lessons and Carols, our is 5 Lessons and Carols and includes live readings, and invitation and benediction, worship elements from all our worship services (traditional/contemporary/modern), beautiful images, moving videos, a quiet and meditative lobby display and of course songs of Christmas.

We went through the dress rehearsal last night and it went very well. I especially enjoyed singing with Bianca, one of our new vocalists. We sound good together.

I hope you have a great Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.

Prayer for the day: “Come Lord Jesus Come”, from Rev. 22.

Have a great day.

Into the future,
