First Sunday of Advent

Isaiah 52:7

December 2, 2024

Remember that at the start of the year the church has adopted the theme of One for Jesus.

During the month of December we have many activities in the church – camps for our youth and young people, mission trips, baptism service, evangelistic events, and the Watchnight Service at the end of the month. Please refer to the Sunday Bulletin for all the details and let us be committed to bring at least one person to one of these outreach events.

How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of those who bring good news, who proclaim peace, who brings good tidings, who proclaim salvation, who says to Zion, “Your God reigns!” (Isa 52:7)

Remember that at the start of the year the church has adopted the theme of One for Jesus. That is, we are committed to do our part to bring at least one person to Christ within these 10 years. And a good place to start is to ask the Lord to give us the name of one person whom we can bring to church. Besides asking for a name we can ask the Lord to open the heart of the person to be receptive. We can also pray and ask the Lord to show us the right time to make the invitation. I am certain the Lord hears our prayers and honors our efforts.
While we are doing all these let us not forget that this is the Advent season. Advent is a period before Christmas where it is an opportunity for us to prepare our hearts for the arrival of baby Jesus. Let us be reminded that the coming of the Son of God, brings hope, peace, joy and love. How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of those who bring good news, who proclaim peace, who brings good tidings, who proclaim salvation, who says to Zion, “Your God reigns!” (Isaiah 52:7) So this December let us follow the words of Isaiah to be the beautiful feet and be a peacemaker.
Let us also keep in prayer those who are traveling either for a holiday with the children and family or on business. May they have a wonderful time filled with love and laughter. And may God’s protection be on everyone. Here’s wishing everyone a Blessed Advent.
