Dear Church Family and Friends:
The angel announced peace on earth and good news to men when he heralded the birth of Jesus the Messiah. The shepherds all gathered together to go and see what the angels were telling them. This message of good news remains with each of us today. We need to have the same attitude of the shepherds to personally go and worship the Lord and to bring others with us when we go. Let me ask you a couple of questions. How important is it to you to be at church each week to worship Jesus? I hope all of you say and practice that it is very important. It takes a real emergency to miss attending church. Next I would ask you how important is it to you to bring a new person to meet Jesus personally through our local church? I would like to ask each of you to prayerfully invite new guests to church each day or at least each week. Take our business cards with you and hand them out wherever you go. Let’s create a culture of saying to others, “Let us go see what the Lord has told us about.” We will have two great opportunities next week with my annual Christmas message and our candlelight service. Let’s all pray and invite friends to join us during these times and then let’s carry it over into every week of 2010! – Pastor Greg
