A Season of Joy

Event Details

We are entering into the Christmas season, a time in which we celebrate with joy, the birth of our Savior! I would like us to spend some time reflecting on the Joy of the Lord, all that He does to bring joy into our lives, and ways that we can bring joy to others. I believe that focusing on joy is a key component to our overall spiritual, mental and physical health, and hope that you all will join us!

Dion Todd Habakkuk 3:17-18 (ESV) Though the fig tree should not blossom, nor fruit be on the vines, the produce of the olive fail and the fields yield no food, the flock be cut off from the fold and there be no herd in the stalls, yet I will rejoice in the Lord; I will take joy in the God of my salvation.

Karen Pietrantonio Hello everyone! I'm sorry it's been so long since I posted; as we all know, life happens and sometimes it's just a flurry of activity, stress, or busy-ness! And here we are - 12 days before Christmas, and I don't even have all the decorations put up. No baking done, and struggling to find a place to make time for it all. Thank you, everyone, for being an active presence, and for all the prayers and love y'all send our way. Much love to you all!

Attending

Ruth Martin I've been very lost for the last few months. . .medical problems both physical and mental, spiritual rut because I can't seem to accept that He loves me no matter what, also because my past failures have been brought up by various people and the pain is so strong still.

Attending
Carol Pady Prayer Devotional for the Day Dear heavenly Father, thank you for Your words of wisdom in dealing with tale bearers. May we have the courage to go to a brother or sister who has sinned against us and confront them in love, that we may win them. Lord, deliver me from any spirit of gossip. Give me the grace not only to refrain from speaking amiss, but also to refuse to listen to it. By walking away, I will not be adding fuel to the fire. May I speak graciously and kindly of others and defend those who are targets of gossip. I ask this in the name of Jesus. Amen. Betty Miller

Attending
Teresa Bridges BROKEN AND BETRAYED He came down from the heavens above He came to teach us all about the Father’s love He walked many steps on this Earth Because he was anointed from his holy birth To carry out his special mission To show the world his great vision. He wanted to show that love is the only way It was in all the words he had to say. However, the world could not accept his ways Or listened to the words that he had to say They could not accept that the words he said was true That he was speaking of salvation for me and for you He was broken and betrayed On that fateful day When he was nailed to that cruel cross The world almost suffered a great loss! Yet he showed us what victory looks like When he rose from the dead and showed his true light. Even broken and betrayed he showed unconditional love From himself and from the Father above. When he sacrificed himself for all of mankind And allowed his true light to shine! © Teresa Bridges 10/3/18
