Pastor's E-Letter 12/25/19

Merry Christmas! We just wanted to send a note to wish all of you a joyous and peace-filled Christmas. Thank you to all of you who worked so hard to make this Advent and Christmas season a joy for so many, whether it was by helping to create beautiful worship, welcoming others to so many of our events, serving those in need in so many ways or inviting friends and family to join us for special worship opportunities over the season. You are an amazing faith community and we are grateful for each and everyone of you! You radiate the light of Christ in all you do, all year long and we thank you!

Next Sunday in worship we will still be celebrating Christmas as we think about “Keeping Christmas Alive” by sharing some of our best personal Christmas moments and singing carols. Pastor’s Augie Allen and Steve Schantz will be bringing the message.

Finally, I want to leave you with some words I saw on a wall hanging in my sisters house just before Christmas: “Love is what’s in the room with you at Christmas if you stop opening presents and listen.”

I pray you have known and will continue to know those moments where you just listen and know the presence of the love that was born for us in the child of Bethlehem, Jesus.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Grace and Peace,

Annette and the SUMC Staff
