Dear Beloved Church Family,
The season of Advent is here, a time of preparation and celebration as we await the arrival of the Christ child. Advent reminds us to slow down, reflect, and open our hearts to the incredible gift of Jesus Christ. Amid the busyness of the holidays, let us focus on the hope, peace, joy, and love that Christ brings into our lives.
This month, we will gather for several meaningful worship services. On Saturday, December 21, at 6:00 PM, we will hold a Blue Christmas Service, offering comfort to those who may find the holidays difficult. This reflective service reminds us that Christ's light shines even in moments of grief and hard- ship.
On Christmas Eve, Tuesday, December 24, we will gather for two beautiful services. The 4:00 PM Family Service is perfect for families with young children, offering a joyful and engaging way to celebrate Jesus' birth. The 10:00 PM Candlelight Service will feature scripture, carols, and the serene glow of candles as we welcome the Savior into the world. I encourage you to bring your family and friends to these sacred moments of worship.
As we prepare for Christmas, let us open our hearts to the ways God is present among us. The birth of Christ is a gift of hope for all people, reminding us that we are never alone.
No matter where you find yourself this season, may you know God's love and peace in your life.
I am grateful to journey through this Advent season with you and look forward to celebrating the miracle of Christmas together. May this season fill your hearts and homes with God's blessings.
With love and gratitude,
Rev. Dale Min, senior pastor
