Christmas Fellowship

That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked at and our hands have touched - this we proclaim concerning the Word of life. The life appeared; we have seen it and testify to it, and we proclaim to you the eternal life, which was with the Father and has appeared to us. We proclaim to you what we have seen and heard, so that you also may have fellowship with us. And our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son, Jesus Christ. We write this to make our joy complete.

1 John 1:1-4

Yesterday, Gloria chapel came together as one unified body to share our joy of knowing Christ. It was such a great blessing to see everyone come out and really be a part of this greater fellowship of being children of God.

Many thanks to our brothers and sisters in the fellowship committee who did a wonderful job planning, decorating, cooking, etc. for this special night and to Pastor Joe for providing us with God's message.

Recap
'Scenes from a hat' was very well thought out. Very creative to modify it to 'scenes from a Styrofoam cup.' And Richie was absolutely hilarious. "Throw cat on fire into flooded bathroom. Problem solved."
The food was splendid. (Whoever made that zucchini, please feel free to share the recipe.)
Also many thanks to everyone who brought gifts. There were a few hidden jems within that pile.
And if you didn't bring a gift, GOD WILL PUNISH YOU!
We kid we kid. There's always next year!

So...
We really hope that all of you guys enjoyed the night.
It was such a blessing just to see everyone.

It's hard at times.
Many difficulties and temptations come our way,
but know that we are still brothers and sisters in Christ.
We are imperfect and inadequate, but we can still come together as one knowing that despite our flaws, despite our sins, we are beautiful and unblemished in the eyes of God because of what Christ has done for us.

Let's remember that Christmas was the day that Jesus was born. It was the start of Christ's arduous journey amongst the depraved, amongst the corrupt, amongst us humans. But because of Him, we can be whole and pure.
So let's celebrate the day Christ was born!

Shalom,
Hannah
