Pastor’s weekly newsletter | 12-10-2021

Dear Church Family and Friends,

We hope and pray that you are safe and well on this beautiful Friday morning here in Key West.

I want to remind you that we will have a Christmas Eve Candlelight Service on December 24 at 6 p.m.

December also marks the time when we have our Presbyterian Church takes up the Christmas Joy Offering. This offering assists Presbyterian Church workers in a time of need. We will have special envelopes in each bulletin this Sunday but if you would like to give to this offering, simply write Joy Offering on the Memo of your check or on the envelope itself if you are mailing it in. Below is a wonderful story how the Joy Offering helped a couple in great need!

This Sunday is the 3^rd Sunday of Advent and I will be preaching on the Lectionary Text of John the Baptist paving the way for Jesus to come into the world. It reminds us to prepare our hearts, minds, souls and lives to be prepared for the birth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Our Bell Choir will also be playing, and we have four teenage girls who have joined our Bell Choir for the first time.

We get so busy during this season that we forget the most important element of Christmas is Christ coming to save us from our sins and to give us hope, peace, joy and love.

Have a wonderful weekend,

Pastor Daniel
