We search to find one word that will make sense and give meaning to the rest. Come near, Lord. Touch our hearts and souls; enfold your life around ours; speak that one cleansing, unifying word. Express yourself to us, in us, through us. We are walking toward Bethlehem, listening every step of the way for the sound of our name; for the announcement that we have found favor with God. We journey toward Bethlehem, watching every step of the way for a new star in the sky, for guidance in our daily lives. Walking toward Bethlehem, sensing we are not alone, angels are all around us, the prayers of saints surround us.

3 We journey toward Bethlehem, hoping to find a baby in a manger; a simple sign that God loves us still. The Reading of the Advent Scripture Luke 2: 8-14 Light the third Advent candle The Candle of Joy God turn our days to joy that we may serve you always. Meet & Greet Fill us with joy, expectancy and wonder as we prepare for the amazing blessings of the holy birth.

7 YOUTH NEWS Last Saturday, the Youth Group had a Christmas get together at B.J. & Julia s for dinner and then headed to the Live Broadus Memorial Baptist Church. They put on quite the production. Afterwards, chatting with the gentleman who played Isaiah...he mentioned that they have over 250 folks involved, including 150 actors. He also mentioned that the ages of actors ranged from 2 all the way to 83. It was an awesome experience. We had a group of 26 head out and were able to witness a depiction of Jesus from 700 years prior to his birth all the way up to his resurrection and current day. A big thank you to all of those who helped (Charlie & Denise Martin, Debbie & Ross Bretches, Corinne Abernathy, Julia Crowder, Allen & Suzanne Jenkins, and Tim & Laura Cooper). Also a big thanks to Debbie Bretches for bringing appetizers and Denise Martin for bringing dessert! Our last Monroe Park TOP for this calendar year is TODAY! As you can imagine, the holidays are always a tough time for the folks that we serve; please consider coming out and helping to fill someone s spirit during this special time of year. December 16 th will be the Santa Supper in the Fellowship Hall there will be no Youth Group that evening. Mark your calendars it is never too early to hear information regarding the annual YOUTH YARD SALE & BBQ! March 19 th will be the date! It is that time of year when many of you are looking to clean out. You may start bringing in items at any time and putting them in the room directly beside the Youth Sunday School room upstairs.
