Dr. Okitakoyi Michel Lundula Pastor Jane Rowe Administrative Assistant 901 3rd AVE SE Le Mars, IA Phone: Fax: Office Hours 8:30 am 4:30 pm Monday - Friday Prayer Chain Connect with our prayer chain by ing or calling the church office or calling Mary Laughton at laughmg@frontier.com Change of Address? Please let us know by or phone at the church office office@lemarsumchurch.org Website: Friends, it is again that time of the year that we always enjoy those beautiful melodies of Christmas hymns on radios, TVs, in stores and Churches; the time that our streets, homes and porches shine beautifully with Christmas lights. All these remind us that it is the Advent of the Lord. From its original translation in Latin, the word Advent means the coming. And the key question we all need to answer in this beautiful season of joy and expectation will be, The coming of who? Looking at what our society is facing today, the season of Advent has become for some a good time to do business, a season of decoration, and for others a time to share gifts with friend and relatives. Putting all these considerations together, it is consequently evident that the season of Advent has now more social implications than spiritual. According to our Christian tradition, the season of Advent is a season of preparation for the coming of the Lord. It is a season of joyful anticipation that reminds us of the coming of the Christ who was born to save, died, ascended in heaven and who shall come again. The season of Advent provides us with opportunities to renew our relationship with Christ, to share the joy and peace of Christ with others, to experience the love of God, and to renew our self-disciplines to welcome the Messiah in our hearts. Friends, let us consider this Advent as an opportunity to prepare our hearts as we explore together our advent series entitled, A Journey to Bethlehem: A Reflection of God s love to the world. Let us also join together as the church family to share the joy of Christ through the following opportunities: Adopt Family, Caroling at the Care Facilities (Dec 10-2:45 to 4:45pm), Jail Ministry (pizza, candy bars, books etc.), Christmas Eve offering (Dr. Emmanuel and Florence Mefor, Missionaries in Zimbabwe and our Le Mars Youth for Christ). Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions on how you would like to participate in sharing the joy of Christ. May the joy of the New Born King fill your hearts and families as we prepare ourselves to celebrate His birth and His coming. Advent Greeting Happy Advent. Pastor Lundula

Thank You From Bruce & Debra Young Family Thank you so much for your thoughts, prayers and support during this difficult time. Words cannot express our appreciation for everything you have done for us. Thank for the food basket and meals. Your generosity and thoughtfulness has touched us deeply.
