2 From Donnie s Desk; Merry Christmas!! There is so much to love about this season and this time of year here in the mountains! Already there are decorations and lights and festivities taking place as the celebration of the birth of our Savior begins. It has been amazing to watch our team of decorators as they have worked for days making our facilities look beautiful lights twinkling, trees adorned, garland hung, wreaths carefully placed If you have ever been a part of a hanging of the greens service, then you know that each of the decorations has deeper spiritual meaning that points to the birth of our Savior. The evergreens, the lights, the colors used all represent aspects of God s permanence and provision for us through the birth of Jesus. My hope and prayer for us this season is that in every gathering, every service, every musical event, every class party we will see and experience the beauty and wonder of our Savior in a fresh and new way! This week we begin our Christmas celebrations as a church family. Each Sunday in December we will look at and study one facet of the Christmas story and sing a Christmas Carol that speaks to the reality of the story. From longing for the arrival of Immanuel to the joyful shout of Joy to the World we will take this journey through the greatest story ever told and find deep meaning for our hearts and lives in the process. Our music ministry is hard a work preparing for two presentations of their Christmas musical, Peace Has Come. The first presentation will take place on Saturday night December 22 and the second presentation will happen on Sunday morning December 23 during our morning worship service. It s going to be a beautiful and moving time of worship, reflection, and celebration of the birthday of our Prince of Peace! Of course, we will join together for a beautiful candlelight service on Christmas Eve as we sing carols and read the Christmas Story as a church family. This is one of my favorite services each year! There is much more happening at HSBC during this season Second Mile preparing to give out food and baskets to those in need, the Lottie Moon Christmas offering that helps carry the gospel message to the uttermost parts of the world, thousands of shoe boxes filled with gifts and the gospel are being sent out to children around the world. So Merry Christmas! Sharon and I love y all and are so excited about celebrating the birth of our Savior together again this year. Blessings, Donnie

unexpected elements of our culture have captured the essence of what Christmas is really about. THE FIVE SENSES OF CHRISTMAS By Reggie Joiner Christmas appeals to my five senses.

4 unexpected elements of our culture have captured the essence of what Christmas is really about. THE FIVE SENSES OF CHRISTMAS By Reggie Joiner Christmas appeals to my five senses. Think about it: All you have to do is...play a few melodies of Bing Crosby. Burn a candle that smells like evergreen. String some multi-colored lights on any object in your yard. Add a little peppermint to your Starbucks. Cut some paper and arrange a silk bow on a box. Bake a gingerbread cookie in the shape of a snowman. and suddenly everyone knows it s Christmas. Somewhere along the way, Christmas has become a very powerful brand. And I m just fine buying it. I actually like the idea that everything around me says it s Christmas. (I d also agree Christmas has been too commercialized, but that s another issue for another bah humblog.) For the moment, I would like to simply point out that there is something wonderful about the way this season tastes, looks, sounds, feels, and smells. I find myself humming songs I would hate any other time of the year, wanting to eat more than I normally would, and gazing with amazement at the creativity of the decorations in my neighbor s yard. The transformation of my surroundings into a magical winter experience gives me a temporary escape from my normal existence. With everything else it brings, this season also gives me a sense of optimism and hope. Yes, of course I believe the most important thing about Christmas is the story of the birth of our Savior who came to redeem the world. But I also believe, either on purpose or by accident, that many Giving...Festivity...Compassion...Hope...Celebratio n...forgiveness...joy From Dickens classic The Christmas Carol to Schulz s A Charlie Brown Christmas, the story of Christmas shows up over and over again in thousands of different songs, movies, lights, decorations, presents, and even recipes. For all the negative things you can say about the commercialization of Christmas, I still love most of what our society has done to celebrate this message. This is THE one time of the year that Many who are broken will try to start over. Families who are separated strive to reconnect. Everyone thinks harder about those who are hurting. The entire planet is reminded that God showed up to save the world. I am not sure who or when it was decided what Christmas would look, sound, taste, feel or smell like. But I know for sure when I wake up and step into the world tomorrow it will be Christmas everywhere I go. And the story of Christmas will be everywhere too. Christmas forces us to pause for a few days and confront the most compelling epic of restoration and redemption. So instead of becoming a cynic, skeptic, or scrooge because someone has effectively branded the season, invite your family to breathe in the essence of Christmas. Engage all of your senses and experience the magic of the greatest story ever told.
