This Week (& next) in the Bulletin:

A Happy & Holy Christmas to All!
At Christmas, there’s a familiar cast of characters in the great story of the birth of Jesus. There are Mary and Joseph, the shepherds who were sent by the angel to worship the baby Jesus, and the sages from the east who followed the star.
And John the Baptist who told the crowds who came to hear him, the one I’m telling you about has been born into this world as one of us, but if we believe in him we can all become children of God. He is the reflection of God’s glory – and in Jesus that glory is accessible to every one of us.
What we celebrate today is the moment at which the Word became flesh and lived among us, the moment at which all of the creative power of God, the light of life, became a human being in all the everyday ordinariness of the birth of a baby.
At a time when we give and receive gifts as a sign of love, let’s celebrate the greatest gift that our loving God has given to all people – the gift of his own Son, to be a light in our darkness. But let’s not stop celebrating once Christmas is over. Let each of us take that light into dark places and
reflect God’s glory to everyone we meet. If we do that, then not only today, but every day, will be a happy Christmas.

& A Happy New Year!
The start of a New Year offers a time of reflection on the past year and inspiration for the year ahead. Ending the year with a grateful heart for the past year is a powerful way to refocus and renew your outlook on life. - whether this past year brought you success, fulfillment, and joy, or you faced grief, setbacks, and struggle. New Year prayers are a great way to give thanks for the past year, seek guidance for the coming year, and ask for God's blessings.
Prayers can help you look ahead to the New Year with hope and trust in God. Jeremiah 29:11 tells us, "for I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." No matter what your goals are at the beginning of the year - more physical strength, emotional health, or financial stability, the power of prayer can help you achieve your goals as you seek God's plan for your life! Remember, God loves us and wants the best for us. Let's enter the New Year, ready to live the life he wants for us!
