Do you have someone in your life that is such a giver that when you ask them what they want for Christmas they really don’t know?  My mom is like that, so she has played a little game with me ever since I was a kid. I ask her what she wants, and she answers, “World Peace”. Not an easy gift to deliver. If I could give every one of my friends a gift this Christmas, I would choose peace.   Peace is what I am praying for each of us this Christmas. 

We cross paths with all kinds of people each week. Rich, poor, tall, short, angry or stressed are common to most of the people we run into.  But rarely do we cross paths with a person of peace.  When we do, it is a treat, because their peace influences us to be able to relax, savor, enjoy and be refreshed.  Just as an uptight person influences us to be more hurried or stressful, a person of peace inspires us to calm the heck down. 

This Sunday we will be studying the Peace of Christmas. We will discover how it gives each of us a way to relax and become people of peace. Please join us at 10:30am on Sunday at our in-person service or on- line with either the Church Apps, You Tube or Facebook.

We also have a Special Music Guest: Classical Soprano, Ellaina Lewis will be with us to bless.

Your friend for the rest of my life,
Pastor Tim White
