Correction for Dec. 19

I tried to edit and failed. The word is commemorate. That is what this church in SoCal does with the birth of Jesus Christ. We know the 25th is not the real day of birth but we love time of year, this appreciation of the Christ-child, the fact that He will grow up to be the Saviour of the world. For years, btw, as pastor here over some 18 years, I always celebrated the Sundays of Advent. I still like the term Advent. One other thing: some mega-churches are not having Christmas Eve or Christmas Day services. Though we are very small, we are having both. I will lead one at 6pm and Pastor Don, our lead pastor will lead one Christmas Day at 11am along with a Korean congregation, OMC. Christmas is for everyone and the truth is if only people will open their hearts and minds to the Biblical truths just these two churches proclaim, Christmas would reign in the hearts of all the nations of the world. Jesus is for , to, with, the World. All faiths are not equal and perhaps that is why so many people hate Christ and this season, we still call the Christmas season. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
