Here’s a question for you that has been wandering the wastelands of my brain lately. How would Jesus celebrate Christmas? Every year, we all say, “Christmas has gotten too commercialized.” Right? And every year it gets a little more commercialized. So, just saying that it is commercialized doesn’t seem to be helping. And since we sometimes ask, “What would Jesus do?” I am asking how would Jesus celebrate Christmas? I thought about making up a bunch of rubber wristbands that say “HWJCC” but I will just ask y’all. I really don’t know the answer. But I would love to hear back from you with your thoughts and then later on, maybe next month, we will discuss it at church.
However He would celebrate, I don’t think it would be with meetings and parties every other day to the point the holidays are just stressful and dreaded. I bet He would make a wonderful mac n cheese but I doubt He would want to make it five times over the holidays. So, we at Christ Fellowship also want to make it simple for you. We are combining our 11th anniversary party with our Thanksgiving party on December 3rd. It will be a meal after church Sunday morning. And then December 17th we will have another after-worship meal that Sunday as well. That’s it. No stress. You don’t even have to bring anything if you don’t want. We always have plenty. You will hear more about these meals as we get closer, of course.
Also, this coming Sunday, we will answer, at least in part, the question of, why is this world just so mad right now? Riots and protests and violence and crime through the roof. What’s going on in our world today? Well, it seems the ancient prophet Jeremiah has been watching the news around here lately and has a word for us about just that. I can’t wait to see you. If you aren’t here, you will be missed! I love you all! — Todd
