Merry Christmas

​Merry Christmas everyone! I hope and pray you are healthy and enjoying God’s hand in your life. This year has continued to bring challenges and opportunities that we have never seen before. As we continue to maneuver life amidst a pandemic, my prayer is that we get a sense of how much God loves us and cares about us. Despite all our struggles, we serve a God who loves us, cares about us, and is working for the good of those who love him (Romans 8:28). That is one reason I love celebrating Christmas. Jesus came the very first Christmas to bring hope, peace, joy, and love to the world. Those are the topics we talk about every Christmas, and frankly they are what we need to hear about most right now. Take time to embrace Jesus’ love for you. May He bring you peace and joy this Christmas season. And may you sense His hope as He is greater than anything we can face.
 
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Christmas Eve Service is at 6:30 pm Friday, December 24th. The service will be recorded, and the live video will be posted online as soon as possible following the service. There is a short video announcement currently online that will be replaced by the service video.
 
No Sunday video this week. Per our tradition at Central, we will have a testimony service Sunday morning at church. This will be a time of praise and prayer, and due to the nature of the service it will not be recorded and posted online. Regular videos will resume January 2nd.
 
Have a Merry Christmas! I look forward to seeing many of you Christmas Eve and Sunday morning. For those joining us online and those I’ll see, I wish you a very Merry Christmas as we celebrate our Savior’s birth. 
 
In Christ’s love,
Pastor Bart
