Jesus is the Reason for the Season!

For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the
government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be
called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father,
Prince of Peace.

In the same way, let your light shine before others,
that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.

Dear Beach Church family,
December is one of my favorite months of the year. I have special
memories of Christmas growing up in Oklahoma with my brothers and sisters. We were always so excited on Christmas Eve that we could never
get to sleep
and were up at the crack of dawn to open our presents.
Over the years Donna and I have began our own traditions like setting out Creches from different parts that we collected or were given to us as gifts. One of the traditions was to attend the Christmas Eve Service and then
come home to enjoy favorite snacks that included Donna's delicious Cookies. I know you have your own special memories.
In church I love lighting the Advent Candles, singing favorite hymns and the beautiful Candle Light Christmas Eve Service. It is a time when people are drawn together in a special way as we remember God's love in Jesus Christ. Donna and I extend to each of you our love and prayers during this Holy and Joyous season.
With God's love, peace. hope and joy.
