It’s Beginning to Look A Lot Like Christmas!
By Pastor Tim White
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas. That song startles the imagination of little ones and old ones alike. When I was a kid and shopping for a Western Flyer BB gun, I would hear that song on the streets of downtown Kennewick - my imagination would go wild. Was it true? It was getting a little stormy outside. The men and women of the church were stopping by from time to time to decorate our church sanctuary for an incredibly special season. The church raised money for those struggling throughout the world. Lights began to appear around town. Baking fragrances could be smelled coming from house to house. My mom and dad had special projects going for those who were in need.
In those days we would really watch Christmas being painted, carved and decorated in our community before our eyes. It was pulled from economic downturns, real moments of discouragement, and uncertainty in society; into peace, love, and the joy of Christmas. It was a substantive miracle being brought forth by faith by gracious people.
Let’s do it again this year. We really need it. Join me for one of the most important sermon series of my life. “It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas”. We will study from the Book of Isaiah and the Gospels following the instructions on what it takes to become Christmas People.
This Sunday, December 13, at 10:25am join me in this new series as we prepare our hearts for this Christmas season. Be sure to grab your journal or iPad and join us on Facebook Live, YouTube Live, or our Washington Cathedral website or App. See you Sunday.
Your friend for the rest of my life
