Book of Faith Puzzler
The question from last week: What is John the Baptist’s relationship with Jesus? A) Friend, B)Student-teacher C) Cousins D) Brothers
According to Luke 1:36 Elizabeth and Mary, the mothers of John and Jesus, are relatives (sometimes translated cousins). This would make John the Baptist and Jesus second cousins. Congratulations to Aidan C for winning this week's puzzler.
This week’s question: What is the longest the season of Advent can be? A)24 days B) 25 days C)28 days D)30 days. Get you answer to me by noon on Wednesday to be entered into this week's drawing.

Yesterday's Sermon
As I mentioned earlier, we had a wonderful conversation yesterday about "What great things does God want to do through you?" In case you missed it, you can read my written portion here
Those serving in worship
Thank you to everyone who has volunteered to serve in worship for Christmas Eve.
I could still use some help at the 10pm service, especially a communion assistant. Please let me know if you can serve.
Christmas Text
Saturday's gospel is probably one of the most well know stories from the bible, the birth of Jesus found in Luke 2:1-20. What is your favorite part of the Christmas story? What is your most memorable telling of this story - a Sunday School Christmas pageant, a movie, reading it on Christmas Eve with the family? How can I retell this story to make it new to you?
Hope you all have a great week as we prepare for the birth of Christ.
