Pastors Corner - December 2011 PDF Print E-mail
For this Christmas Season I hope we all can remember the most special gift of grace that is ours through the birth of the Christ-child. For this Christmas Season I hope that we all can recognize that in the gift of the Son, our Heavenly Father, shows us that the most special gift we can give others is to see and treat them grace-fully.

The grace that is ours through Emmanuel, God with us, provides for us a secondary gift of perspective. It allows for us to see things in a larger context, to see when neighbors and loved ones might need our prayers, our patience, our understanding. It allows for us to see, appreciate  and share God’s love and God’s grace.

This month my prayer for all is a prayer for a grace-filled Christmas. A Christmas to give, and receive grace; a Christmas to regain perspective; and, a Christmas to focus on the larger picture, which at its center has the smallest of children, a babe in a manger, the Christchild who came to teach us all about grace.

Merry Christmas,,

 

Chris

Stewardship Notebook


The Stewardship Church Life Scrapbooks are out and making their way through the congregation and the Stewardship Committee hopes you appreciate this new approach to the 2012 pledge campaign. In the Scrapbook the Spirit-filled life of this church is on display for all members to enjoy as they prayerfully consider their pledge of financial support. Please remember, all pledges are confidential, seen only by your Church Administrator Jena Shelton, and your officer Team Leaders are always available to answer your stewardship questions. This is an exciting time in the life of the First Presbyterian Church of Quincy, and with congregational support we are sure that our future will be exciting as well!
