Starting Over: Rebuild
The Lord used the Holy Spirit to stir the heart of King Cyrus of Persia, not an Israelite, to allow God's people to return to Jerusalem to rebuild the temple that had been destroyed by war. Ours is a powerful God; so powerful that God can use the unexpected to do God's work in the world. Who has acted on behalf of God in an unexpected way in your community? Lift up that person, people, or organizations as evidence that God is still alive and active in a secular world.

So, the question is: "How do we respond?" How do we respond to the changes in our midst? How do we respond to the challenges and opportunities in our community? How do we respond to the call of discipleship that our Lord puts in front of us each and every day? How do we respond to the gifts that were first given to us by God?

Make Room!
During Advent, we are encouraged to open our hearts and share gifts of love with those in need. Join us for Advent Prayer Services at 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday Dec. 16, featuring "Behold Our Light" liturgy. Our theme is "Making Room" and we'll celebrate making room for the Christ Child to live in us. You're invited to bring a gift from home on each Wednesday evening.
On Dec. 16,
share a fellowship meal at 6:00 p.m. & make room in your hearts by bringing a new toy for Eblen Ministries. Our children will present the musical
Room for Christmas
by Mark Burrows. In the story, it's one week before the church Christmas pageant, but the director is sick, no one's learned their lines, and the pageant feels like "just one more thing" in an already busy time schedule. The children discover a way to make this old story feel brand new, and find joy and wonder by 'making room' for what really matters. During the show, the congregation will be invited to present a new, unwrapped toy as an offering. Our worship ministry here at Nativity hopes that you will 'make room' and 'make time' in your busy schedules for these special Advent Prayer Services on Wednesday evenings in December.
