For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given; And the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. (Isaiah 9:6)
Greetings everyone…… I hope you’re all enjoying this Holiday season as we move on to the day of the celebration of the birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. For most of us, this can be a great, joyous time of the year, but for others, not so good. We pray that the Holy Spirit might make its presence known and give them comfort, so they too, can enjoy this peace that comes upon us at this time.
Here at Holy Trinity, activities have ramping up as we approach Christmas Day. The sanctuary is looking festive with the Chrismon decorated tree, wall and ceiling banners. Two weeks ago, a big wonderful pile of toys were donated to the Toys for Tots drive, thanks to the generosity of all of you. Last Sunday we had over a dozen of our children present a wonderful Christmas Pageant under the direction of Leslie Darling and Lara Scammon. A big THANK YOU to Leslie and Lara, the children and all those involved in helping to put the program together.
While things may be getting more and more hectic for many of us with Christmas Eve / Christmas Day next week quickly approaching, I’d ask that you note your calendar and keep in mind the Annual Meeting that will take place January 26th between services. A discussion of the proposed budget will take place the week before (January 19th) at adult forum.
As Christmas approaches, and we move into another new calendar year, I wish each and every one of you, and everyone in your family, a blessed and joyous Christmas and a new year of good health, joy, and contentment.
Blessings and Peace,
Dave Smith
Council President
