Serving Our Neighbors Brings Everyone Joy! Thank you for being the hands and feet of Christ in our community! Whether it is by sharing food, or giving gifts from incarcerated parents to their children, or singing Christmas carols, or visiting folks in the hospital, or delivering cards and gifts to veterans, or praying, or the many, many other ways that our church family shares the love of Christ with others, thank you! God has given us the great joy of being a blessing to others. And in return, we are the ones blessed. God is so good! Other Announcements & Events     Dear Jesus, this Advent, blanket us in Your Peace. Help us stay calm amidst all of the chaos of the world. Amen.  PRISON ANGEL TREE The choices that lead to a prison sentence, as well as the distance created by incarceration, can strain a prisoner’s family ties to the breaking point. At Christmas, the emotional pain of a loved one’s incarceration grows even more intense; the distance is felt by children and parents alike. Angel Tree Christmas gives incarcerated parents a way to provide a Christmas gift and a personal message, delivered by caring, local volunteers, as a tangible representation of their love. Every Angel Tree family is also given access to a free, easy-to-read copy of the Bible. And the church, which embodies the hope and grace of the Gospel to prisoners’ families, may continue to minister to the family all throughout the year. Kerrville First United Methodist Church has adopted 56 children from our community with an incarcerated parent. These children are receiving a gift and their caregivers are receiving food for the household. What a blessing! Thank you, Church! Please join us in praying for these children, their parents, and their caregivers.  Thank you to our Angel Tree Champions, Lori and Dee Ann!  Dear Jesus, You are the hope in our messy world. This Advent, help us slow down, listen to Your voice, and focus on what's really important. Amen. ___________________________ Shared from Jane Davis I am praying for you this morning… As we sit and breathe, contemplate the past several days. Traveling. Grocery shopping. Meal planning. House cleaning. Cooking. Baking. Eating. Game watching. Christmas boxes found and unpacked. Laughter. Stories. Memories. Memories. Memories. Did we remember to do what we say we’re going to do Thanksgiving… Give thanks. Thanks to God for giving us our family. Safe travels. Provisions. And…thanks for the anticipation and excitement as we now plan for celebrating the most important birth in history… The birth of a tiny baby…God-in-the-flesh, coming to earth for the salvation of all mankind. What a gift. What a reason to celebrate, and be thankful. “Many, O Lord my God, are the wonders You have done…” Psalm 40:5  Announcements
