It's the week in between Christmas and New Years. That sort of no-man's land when some people are home, some are at work, others are still visiting relatives, all the kids are off from school, and no one really knows what to do with themselves. We are cleaning up and eating left-overs as well as playing with the new gadgets we received from Santa.
It's quiet here at church as we all work hard on planning 2012. We are looking ahead to what God will do with our ministry in the year ahead. It is an exciting time. A time to be thankful for the quiet pace of the week so we can spend time in prayer and preparation for all that lies ahead.
The 4 worship services that encompassed Christmas Eve and Christmas morning brought over 1200 people through our doors. WHAT A BLESSING!
The voices of children in song, the sound of laughter as old friends greeted one another, the familiar carols, the young faces in worship, multiple generations of church famillies gathered together, the candles lit in glory to the celebration of Jesus - the true light of the world!
It is our prayer at Central Presbyterian Church that 2012 may bring you and your loved ones many blessings, including the knowledge of how God is at work in the world through you.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
~Pastor Cynthia
