1 COMMACK UNITED METHODIST CHURCH Celebrating over 230 years of Christian Service 486 TOWNLINE ROAD, COMMACK, NEW YORK OFFICE (631) The Messenger December 2017 A Message from Our Pastor: One of my pastoral responsibilities is to teach. And so I take this teaching moment to share about St. Nicholas Day. St. Nicholas was a bishop in Myra, Turkey. St. Nicholas was a Christian leader who was personally committed to the care of people and families who faced poverty, particularly but not exclusively families with children. St. Nicholas felt that it was important for him to live out his faith in Jesus Christ by helping others. The scripture about loving and caring for the least of these comes to mind. And that is exactly what St. Nicholas did. He would leave money or gold wrapped up at the house of the people who needed them. And he wrapped them up because he didn t want people to know that it was him. His saints day in the Western Christian calendar is December 6. This past Sunday we gave out bags of gold wrapped chocolate coins. These bags of gold were given out as a reminder of the kind works St. Nicholas began generations ago. A reminder that it was St. Nicholas love for God that motivated him do these acts of kindness. Prayerfully consider the ways in which you can share the love of God. Whether it is through an angel tree gift, donations of food for the pantry, volunteering time, or striking up a conversation about the season. I invite you to search within yourself where and how is God leading you to be the hands and feet of God in this Christmas season? How can we as the Commack UMC share the light and love of God to all whom we meet? Blessings friends as you have been a blessing. Prayerfully shared, Your Pastor Roslyn

2 A Prayer for Christmas Morning By Henry van Dyke The day of joy returns, Father in Heaven, and crowns another year with peace and good will Help us rightly to remember the birth of Jesus, that we might share in the song of the angels, the gladness of the shepherds, and the worship of the wise men. Close the doors of hate and open the doors of love all over the world Let kindness come with every gift and good desires with every greeting Deliver us from evil, by the blessing that Christ brings, and teach us to be merry with clean hearts May the Christmas morning make us happy to be thy children And the Christmas evening bring us to our bed with grateful thoughts, forgiving and forgiven for Jesus sake.
