Happy New Year everybody. I believe 2008 will be an extraordinary year of growth at Abiding Savior, and I know that God will bless us as we set off on new paths and journeys this year.
Christmas Eve was a wonderful experience in the church. Everything came together so well. The church looked beautiful with the tree and poinsettias, the choir sang their hearts out, the congregation joined in with joy and gusto, Chad's sermon was inspirational. As we left the bulding that evening, I felt that we had done everything we possibly could do to welcome the new-born Christ.
Part of what made that experience so meaningful was the build-up through Advent. The Christian year begins with preparation, and the four Sundays and three Tuesdays of Advent really hepled us get ready.
Our new Christian year started magnificently. Now we start the new calendar year with many joys and challenges ahead. Bring it on - we're ready.
