Wow, here it is again, December! And even though I am not too keen on the Iowa COLD and winter, I certainly am keen on Christmas! Christmas...the birth of Christ! The Incarnation of God coming in man. Incredible.

Sadly, all too often it seems as though the Christmas season is over before it even begins! At Good News we want to make your celebration of this special season important. During Advent we change the style and format of the worship services. We add special events and opportunities for worship and fellowship and service. It's a great time of year to be a believer.

Last Sunday started the Advent season. This Sunday, the second Sunday of Advent, we will celebrate communion. Next Sunday, December 13th, at 6:00 pm,  we will show the movie "The Nativity Story" in lieu of an evening service. The following Sunday, December 20th will be a combined morning worship service at 10:30 am with the children's Christmas program. There will be a breakfast that morning at 9:00 am with time for the kids to get one more practice in! That evening, and hopefully there will be a LITTLE snow, we will meet at the church building at 6:00 pm to go caroling! Finally, December 24th, at 6:00 pm, we will have our annual Christmas Eve candlelight service. I hope your Christmas Season will be marked by happiness, joy, peace, and devotion.

In Him,
