You are a wonderful group of others-focused people, and I love doing Kingdom life with you. What a privilege it was to serve with the hundreds of you who made our Christmas Eve services a huge highlight for so many. I can’t remember when we’ve had a Christmas Eve experience with such a high level of ownership by all. Thank you for your attitudes that represent the self-sacrificing life of Jesus
I especially want to thank the entire Celebration Arts Team for the hundreds of hours they spent planning, rehearsing and then actually performing. It is such a privilege to serve with such devoted servants. The really cool thing is that everyone…from parking lot volunteers, to ushers, to coffee bar baristas, to dancers, to singers, to techies, to foodies, to children’s ministry workers, to yours truly… EVERYONE who served did it to make sure our guests and family got to see and experience Jesus.
Please pray for all those who said, “Yes!” to receive or renew or reflect on the message of Jesus. I know God touched so many with the clear message of the virgin birth of Jesus Christ, Immanuel.
I also want to thank you for your generous understanding toward all of our committed volunteers and servants about why we changed our service times last weekend to Friday and Saturday. I look forward to a new year of vision and purpose as we celebrate our 20 years of doing God’s work together here in Western Nevada County.
FYI – in order for your giving to be attributed to your 2011 records for IRS purposes, you will need to give online or by mail (must be postmarked by December 31) or by bringing your offerings to the church office. We will close at 1:00 on December 30.
Looking forward to a new year with you,
Pastor Ron
