Good Samaritan

We are busy getting our Christmas decorations in place in our house this week. I love it once it is all up. So, I'm working on getting my attitude in gear to enjoy the process of putting it all up. The destination is awesome . . . don't forget to enjoy the journey. (I just had to take this moment to preach to myself.)

The Singing Christmas Tree kicks into gear this weekend. Please take a moment to say a prayer for all the people who will have an opportunity to accept Jesus as their personal Savior. We are believing God for a wonderful harvest for His Kingdom.

This month's theme is "The Gift of Giving." We begin this Sunday with a look at the story of the Good Samaritan to inspire us to look for those around us who are waiting for someone to reach out to them with love and compassion. The potential to impact our community is so great! I am thrilled by all the stories I hear of true Christianity being lived out through our church family.

Colossians 3:12 "Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience."

Let's soak in the Christmas spirit of God's love and compassion.

Together . . . Continuing the Dream,

Pastor Rick
