Christmas is here! Christmas Eve Candlelight Service

Christmas is almost here!  Matthew wrote, ""Look! The virgin will conceive a child! She will give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel, which means 'God is with us.'" (1:23)  The miracle of Christmas is that "God is with us!"

I'm sure you have already been out buying presents and listening to your favorite Christmas song.  Won't be long and we will be enjoying some family time around the Christmas tree!  At New life, we want to encourage you to celebrate the real reason for the season . . . the birth of the Savior!

When I think about that first Christmas in the manger in Bethlehem, I am reminded that God works in mysterious and sometimes small and subtle ways.  And He is still working in our world today, but not always in the foreground.  Take time this Christmas to consider all of the ways God may be working in your life and in your world and ask Him how you can partner with Him!

Each Sunday this December, we will focus on "Messiah is Coming" as a way to celebrate the first advent of Christ and look forward to His second advent.  I hope you will join us each Sunday as we celebrate at the ARC.

On December, 24th at 7 PM (Holiday Inn Executive Center) we have planned a very special Christmas Eve Candle Light gathering and invite you and your whole family to join us.

Merry Christmas!  Pastor Tom
