Brothers and Sisters
This Sunday morning promises to be a wonderful worship experience as we light a candle for peace. A family oriented service, we will be having our Christmas pageant. All children are invited to participate in the pageant – if they do not have an assigned role we will have extra costumes with parts that are easy to play. The pageant is more than just the story – there will be music by youth, including Bayley and Jeremy Stevens, Lilli Elwood, Ruth Dunlop and Robert Davidowitz. We will also have a puppet appearance courtesy of Gerry Nicholas and guests from the Murrieta Food Pantry. After service the Christmas Bazaar will continue, and I already know I’m going to buy more of Corina’s salsa. There will be all sorts of great crafts and gift ideas, including some treats from my wife’s kitchen. It will be a great Sunday morning and I hope to see you there.
Sunday evening, starting at 5 p.m., there will be a youth party at my house (36035 Tahoe St., Winchester, CA). All youth and young adults are invited to attend, from 6th grade up. There will be games, music and food, not to mention an adorable puppy named Izzy.
However you celebrate this holiday season, I hope you find enjoyment and meaning in these next few weeks. I hope this time of anticipation and hope brings you closer to God and more aware of all the goodness in the world.
Peace and Love,
Rev. Joe
