President’s Post/Church Council News; 

Glory to God

Yet another voters meeting will be held on the 8th of December. I would like to encourage all members to participate. This will help us, those who are in the leadership of the Church, to know what your thoughts and voices are. It is also a chance to sit back, listen and learn what is going on in the church. We are in need of a recording secretary, a member at large, and a president for the RTG Advisory Board. We pray that you would please consider joining the council in one of these positions.

December 6th is the Fallon Tree lighting. St. John's hands out hot cocoa and cookies. We could use all the volunteers we can get. This Friday the temps look to be in low 40s to high 30s. Let’s spread the word about Christmas and the Church. Talk to DeAl for more details.

The calendar is soon to be flipped to 2025. With everyone’s help it is going to be a great year. Every year after Thanksgiving we have this build up to Christmas. Thanksgiving is late this year so the time for advent is short. I can tell you that I even get anxious to hear the Christmas music on the radio as soon as the weather starts to turn cool and with the start of January, I am sad to see the season go for another year. The wait for us is nothing when you compare it to the 700 years that the Jewish nation waited since Isaiah prophesied,

“For to us a child is born, to us a son is given and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called the Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace” (Isaiah 9:6).

The excitement and joy that we feel is not only an earthly trait, but our gift of grace was also expressed by the angels in heaven. Their emotional heavenly message to the shepherds on the night of Jesus birth is told here in the book of Luke, 

 “And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David, a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men. 
(Luke2:10-14).

This Christmas season do as the angles did and sing your praise to heaven. Let all that meet you know that Christ is in your heart.

THE PRAYER: Heavenly Father, give us voices that by your words we may find those that need the light of Jesus in their lives. In Jesus' Name. Amen.
