Due to the likelihood of inclement weather this weekend, we have decided in an abundance of caution to postpone our annual student ministry Christmas party to January! SnowBall “The Greatest Show on Earth” will now be Saturday, January 12 from 6-9pm. Because of the later date, we also believe this should alleviate some of the scheduling conflicts with school events. We are re-opening the registration, so if you have not signed up for SnowBall, go to www.fccedmond.org/register so you don’t miss this fun night! If you are already signed up, you will remain signed up unless you contact Rev. Mark and let him know you can't make it.

Christmas time is a time of delight for our senses. We are literally overwhelmed with sights, sounds, smells, touches and tastes that help us to experience the joy of this season. These senses are the themes for our Advent worship experiences and we have already explored sights and tastes. This past Sunday these two senses came together with our Hanging of the Greens service. We decorated our sanctuary and made it a sight to behold, with garland and lights and a tree. We then had a reception in the Fellowship Hall where we tasted all of the wonderful Christmas goodies—ranging from sweet to sour to salty and “umami.” Umami is the term that John Regan reminded us of in his sermon on Sunday that describes savory flavors in our diets, although I am with him in doubting how legitimate this taste really is!

As we continue to explore our senses, I want you to experience Christmas through the senses of our Christian faith. Christ invites us to experience the world in a new way, seeing and tasting the possibilities of the kingdom, a world where we see the miracles that God has given us and visioning a world where all are fed and given hope. In the coming weeks, we will smell, hear and feel the world in a new way as well.

As I was growing up in Oregon, I remember how my family would go out and pick a beautiful Douglas Fir tree and cut it down and bring it back home for our Christmas celebration. The memories of the smell of that fresh cut tree, the feel of the sap on my hands and the sound of the saw as we cut the tree down bring me right back to my childhood. Our senses can literally take us back to a different world. Likewise, our senses can create a new world, a world where God’s Kingdom is present. As we celebrate this Christmas, let us experience the love of Christ in new ways; ways that challenge us to live out our ministry in the kingdom.

“Together two can accomplish more than twice as much as one, for the results can be much better...” - Ecclesiastes 4:9-12

What an incredible year 2018 has been! We are a church that celebrates learning and growing together, and we respond generously where we see needs. This year we’ve sent students and adults to help restore communities ravaged by hurricanes in South Texas, our Sunday School classes and small groups have served meals and worshipped with people who live without shelter through Church Under the Bridge, college students have gathered to support one another on their journey and created a Thanksgiving meal they shared with homeless people, and thousands of dollars have been given to respond to the immediate needs at Ida Freeman Elementary where we’ve launched a new partnership to transform the lives of students in need.

Even though we have accomplished much together this past year, there is still much to be done as we continue pressing on in our call to raise up the next generation of thoughtful and generous Christians who serve our community together.

To that end, I want to invite you to help us finish the year strong and prepare for an even better 2019. While I cannot say that I understand all the rules of the new tax laws, I do know that your church needs your help to finish the year in good fiscal shape. In September Brenda Peterson, our Board Moderator alerted the congregation that we were significantly behind. We are happy to report we have made up substantial ground! With a reduction in expenses and additional gifts received for our general operations, we are hopeful to end the year strong and receive commitments to begin the 2019 fiscal year in good shape.

Here’s how you can help:
-  Catch up on your 2018 pledge if you are behind or will miss some worship services in December.
-  Make a commitment to give for 2019 even if you have never tried it before in the past.
-  Make an additional designated gift to a ministry that you are passionate about.
-  Consult with your accountant or tax advisor to see if there are new ways to contribute from retirement accounts that are good for you and great for your church.
-  Learn more about the First Christian Church Endowment and how easy it is to include the church in your estate planning.

You can make a donation by giving in our Sunday offerings, mailing a check to the church office, or following the Givelify link (G) found in the top right corner of our website. (Please note: in order for these gifts to be tax deductible they must be postmarked and/or given before December 31, 2018.

I want you to remember that your gifts to First Christian fund ministries that change lives. Thank you for being a part of the First Christian family and helping us accomplish the vision God has given us. Our gifts, combined together, will allow us to continue this important work in 2019!

Dear Church Family,
After much prayer and discussion with my wife, Jillian, and sons Colton and Cooper, I have decided to resign from my position as the Praise and Worship Team Leader, effective March 2019. I fully trust God with this decision and firmly believe he is guiding and directing me through this act of faith.

Over the last 20 years, I have thoroughly enjoyed my time in music ministry and have been honored every Sunday to praise and worship with such amazing singers, musicians and sound crew. I recall being welcomed with open arms the very first day I entered this church and the comfort and love that my family and I have received from that moment has been truly wonderful!

This remarkable church family has encouraged and guided me through many chapters in my life. An especially memorable one was back in 2004, when the entire church united in prayer with me, as I suffered and eventually recovered from an acute inflammatory condition, Guillain Barre syndrome. This serious medical condition resulted in me being paralyzed for almost 2 months. Prayer healed me quicker than anyone my doctors had ever seen! Answers to our prayers enabled me to be restored to complete health, with no residual symptoms up to this day!

I am forever grateful to this church for all you have done! Jillian, the boys and I, want to thank all of you for the love, support, grace, and understanding that we have received throughout the years and during this transition.
Love and Peace, Glenn Sulley

Thank you - Grady Daniel would like to thank his Sunday School Class (Compadres) and the church congregation for all of the prayers and well wishes for him during his recent health issues. All is going well with recovery, and he is very appreciative to all.
