2 Camerontary I began writing this November 15 and at that time some folks were already listening to Christmas music and some had even started decorating. Other folks are incensed that it is not even Thanksgiving, and Christmas stuff has already started. This year, I am one of the folks who is ready to start the celebration already. Yes, Christmas has become a materialistic, secular season of shopping, parties, and activities. Yes, there are parts of the celebrating that are aggravating. Yes, there are days in which the darkness and the gloom both inside and out drag us down to a level from which it seems impossible to rise. However, this is still a season of hope. As we near Christmas we reach the longest night of the year and from December 21 on there is a little more light each day for the next several months. The people who sat in darkness have seen a great light, and for those who sat in the region and shadow of death, light has dawned. (Matthew 4:16) The secular Christmas season begins blossoming as early as August, when stores put out decorations for us to look over and, hopefully, buy. People begin planning shopping trips, travels to be with family, menus, gift giving, and any number of celebratory activities as soon as they are able. Some of their activities are started on Christmas Day the year before. The season can turn into an overabundance of gatherings and celebrations. Once we get past Thanksgiving it turns into a fullfledged binge of activities leading up to the actual day or days of celebrating Christmas. In the secular world, the day is a day of gift giving, eating, and overconsumption of infinite varieties. I am grateful for the season of Advent in all this celebrating. A Sunday morning spent preparing to celebrate the birth of one who calls us to an abundant life not based in consumption is refreshing. Jesus calls us to give of ourselves to those who cannot pay us back. Jesus calls us to work for justice based in shared resources rather than following rules. Jesus calls us to lives of loving kindness rather than amassing stuff. Jesus calls us to be faithful rather than to be strong or right. Advent reminds us that, while the secular celebrations are fun, we have access to something much deeper. When God is in Advent, and Jesus Christ in Christmas, we have access to the fruit of the Spirit [which] is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against such things. (Galatians 5:22-23) The secular celebration of Christmas is wildly different from the celebrations of Advent and Christmas in Christianity. There is overlap as well. Both groups give gifts, have parties, and celebrate the season. Christians have a longer perspective than an annual celebration. We are re-living, re-experiencing the joy and wonder of that first Christmas when the angels appeared to shepherds, The angel said to them, Do not be afraid; for see I am bringing you good news of great joy for all the people: to you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is the Messiah, the Lord. This will be a sign for you: you will find a child wrapped in bands of cloth and lying in a manger. And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host, praising God and saying, Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace among those whom he favors! (Luke 2:10-14) Whether you have already started celebrating or will wait until closer to Christmas, may you have an Advent filled with light and a Christmas and new year filled with joy and peace. We have access to... love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control December 2018 Grace and Peace, Cameron

4 December Activities 2, December 2-9. This is the date that you can bring your Faith family Christmas cards. (see next page) You can pick up your cards on December On Sunday, December 9, the children will present a special Christmas message during the morning worship service at 10:30 a.m. You won t want to miss the chance to see our kids in action! 15 Make plans now to invite your little ones and friends to our yearly Breakfast with Santa on December 15 at 9:30 a.m. There will be a light breakfast, a craft, and best of all the opportunity to have your photo taken with Santa. This is also an opportunity to introduce our friendly church to families looking for a great place to worship. Choir practice will be Saturday, the 15th, after Breakfast with Santa. 16 The choir will present this year s Christmas Cantata Darkness Into Light on Sunday, December 16, as part of regular worship. The Cantata tells the story of Jesus birth with lush mel- odies, intriguing harmonies, and vivid, exciting narration. Invite your family and friends to share this beautiful worship experience with us. 21 December 21 is the longest night of the year. For those that are grieving, nights are often the most difficult. To give or receive some support and encouragement, join us for an evening of worship at 7:00 p.m. on this Friday night. All are welcome. 24 And we can t forget Christmas Eve, the most wonderful night of the year! Join us for an evening of candlelight, song, and scripture at 7:00 p.m. And some Christmas hugs to share. 30 For our last Sunday of the year, we will have a fellowship dinner after worship. Come share your memories from the past year. And of course... Merry Christmas Advent Tree Our Advent Tree is ready for your donations of hats, gloves, mittens, and scarves. The tree will remain up until January 5, Donations will then be delivered to Fletcher Place Community Center for distribution to their vulnerable neighbors. Thanks for considering those who might otherwise be cold this winter! New Idea for Advent We are all very blessed. Here s an idea to share those blessings during the Advent season. A Reverse Advent Calendar. Each day you add an item to a box and on Christmas Eve bring the filled box to the church for Feed the Need. Share your blessings! Rejoice and Be Glad! Advent begins Sunday, December 2, this year. A variety of devotionals are available in the Narthex These booklets invite us to focus on Christ Jesus the Light of the World through scripture, prayer, and spiritual reflections. Teens and young adults have a booklet encouraging them to receive the Word of God. Children will have a sticker book about some of the first visitors to the manger. Let s prepare our minds and hearts for the Christ Child. Looking for Wheels: Anyone have an extra car parked in the driveway? Cindy Hartshorn is looking for a (cheap) used car for Austin. Please contact her if you know of any!
