Christmas has official begun at Cartersville Baptist Church. The church has been beautifully decorated by a wonderful church member. If you have not seen the church decorations then you need to come to church to see the decorations. I would love for you to come and hear the Word of God but you can come to see the decorations too - lol. David has begun the series of Advent. The first Sunday he spoke on Hope - the hope that Christ brings into our lives when we accept Him as our personal Savior. The second Sunday he spoke of Peace - the peace the Christ gives us as we live our lives for Him.
Saturday the Christmas Shop was held for the children in our congregation. Approximately 22 children went through the shop as they "purchased" gifts for their parents. The children decorated cookies, had their pictures taken for a gift for their grandparents, and had lunch. We all had a great time. Adults and children.
This Wednesday night we will enjoy a meal of hotdogs and all the trimmings and the Preschool Choir will rehearse for their Chritmas performance. I am so looking forward to hearing the preschool children sing their songs, and the older children recite their Christmas scripture verses. We have a young girl who will be singing along with other great music. Make plans to be with us on Sunday, Dec. 20th as we celebate the Christmas Season with our gifts and talents at Cartersville.
As we enjoy this Christmas season may Christ be the center of all your celebrations. Let the love of Christ shine through you in whatever you do, say, or give.
