Star

Have you and your family looked at the stars in the night sky lately? They are beautiful and bright.  Stars light up the sky in beautiful ways that guide and inspire us.  Ancient sailors navigated the seas by the stars.  Travelers on land also were guided by the stars.  Stars have captivated our imagination and inspired our stories.  But God also gave a promise about a star that would change the world and guide us toward God, the Creator of all the stars.  Take a moment and allow your life to be guided by the light that shines in the darkest night, our Lord Jesus.
 
(scripture of the week)
"A star will come out of Jacob; a scepter will rise out of Israel"--Numbers 24.17
 
(prayer of the week)
Loving Creator, you created all the universe and you created me.  Help me to see and be guided by the light of your love sent in Christ.  In Christ, let me find true hope, peace, love and joy, and share those great gifts with others near and far, amen.
 
Wishing you and your family a very Merry Christmas!—Pastor TJ
 
(quote of the week)
Christmas is not a time nor a season, but a state of mind. To cherish peace and goodwill, to be plenteous in mercy, is to have the real spirit of Christmas--Calvin Coolidge
