How many days does it take to get back on track after a mid-week holiday? I am so thankful for Sunday worship to follow shortly afterwards! Somehow, going to church keeps me on track; it must be the Holy Spirit directing my path to church. Who needs GPS when you have the Holy Spirit?
It is sad to me that Black Friday sets the pace in the future forecast of sales. I didn't go; my last experience didn't go well. I think it is also a test among Christians; do we act like Christians or stampeding bargain hunters? I hope no one spent more time on shopping strategies than giving God thanks for the blessings He's already given to us. God never gets enough praise for the blessings He freely gives us! He is king and still reigns, praise Him!
Wednesday, congregation was a little smaller since some were basting turkeys. Pastor Janis was in North Carolina on vacation. She will return the 27th.
December is coming too fast! Advent Season begins. Candle lighting services will be held each Sunday leading up to Christmas. As Christians, we have so much to look forward to. Over 2000 years ago, the astrologers were also looking for that special star. This week, we may also see some special events in the heavens. A lunar eclipse will happen on the 28th. On December 3rd, 3 planets will line up over Giza Pyramids. God is creating beautiful things for us to keep watch for His return.
On December 2nd, Grant City at noon, they will be Hanging of the Greens decorating; bring a dish to have a luncheon fellowship. Decorating seems to bring out those childhood memories. Hopefully, untangling the lights will not take the joy out of decorating.
Make a Joyful Noise will perform December 9th at the Grant City United Methodist Church. It is a wonderful time to come and support the youth ministry. What they learn will go with them all their lives. I'm sure they are working very hard to put on a good performance for God.
May we enter Advent Season with a desiring heart to serve, give thanks, and worship God more. Jesus is the reason for the season and my purpose for living. See you in church!
