The most important thing -- the good news of Jesus
Red Run News -- December 4, 2011
We turn back to God. This was the theme for the second Sunday of Advent.
Colleen and Glenda Lafferty read the Scripture this morning (Mark 1:1-8). The chimes choir presented the hymn, "Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silence." We sang "O Come, All Ye Children" during the lighting of the candles.
Excitement ran high during the Children's Time. Emily Sauder pulled into the auditorium a covered wagon carrying an itinerant preacher, a puppet played by her father Bob Sauder. (See the attached photo.) The preacher, along with his dog, faced many challenges in his call to tell others about Jesus. Even when we go through tough times, sharing the good news of Jesus is the most important thing.
Melvin Weaver brought a message about John the Baptist, who announced the coming of Jesus as the fulfillment of God's promises. In our time, we also acknowledge Jesus as the Sovereign Lord and Savior. We confess our sins, live holy lives, tell others about Jesus, love each other, pray for each other, and help each other.
All are welcome to the Christmas program at Red Run to be held at 7 p.m. on Sunday, December 11. And, if you can, bring a plate of cookies to add to the refreshments to be served that evening. Invite others to come to the program.
Ready Runners will meet on Tuesday, December 6, from 6:30 -- 7:30 p.m. for a Christmas program practice.
