Friday Notes

A Few Notes:

• Christmas Eve Service at 7 PM  [for 1 hour – Carols, special music and a Meditation]
• Christmas Day Service at 11 AM
• Our Choir will rehearse on Sunday at 10:45 in E-1
• Pray for various ones from our HBC family that are traveling

As we look ahead to the Lord’s Day, our choir will sing, a men’s ensemble will sing and there will be a special offertory.  I will speak on Unwrapping Christmas in the morning service at 11.   There will not be Sunday School or a 6 PM service.

I’ve been thinking …

The great unwrapping is yet ahead for many.   There is a special joy to watch another unwrap a present that you give to them, especially children and grandchildren.  While Liz and I do not exchange gifts, we enjoy watching our kids unwrap a gift.  The responses are always interesting:  they range from wow… to “this is nice”… and “what am I going to do with this.”   On Sunday we will spend some time thinking through Luke 2:11 – the mystery has been revealed, unwrapped – the special baby has come; consider what is said about this One who is wrapped in swaddling clothes.  We look forward to the Lord’s Day with you.
