ANCHORED

December is one of my favorite times of year. I grew up making cookies, decorating the tree, dressing up like Rudolph or Santa, and dancing in the living room to Christmas music all day. It's such a joyous time in the midst of days getting darker sooner and weather getting colder (not as cold as Colorado though!)

And in the craziness of parties, shopping, and activities, let us remember and hold fast to the real reason for the season.

"For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace." (Isaiah 9:6-7 )

Let us be celebrate this season with knowing we have a good, powerful, eternal, and peaceful God reigning and standing with us in love, comfort, truth, and strength.

Connection Hour will be all about Christmas in December. We will meet on Sundays in the Youth Room from 9:30-10:30 am.
