Carmichael SDA Church Bulletin

As we turn the corner from the simplicity of Thanksgiving and head toward the often chaotic preparations for Christmas, can we just stop for a bit and take a breath? Ahhhh, yes, not just a breath of air, but a breath of God...the Spirit of God and His real presence among us rather than the presents around us. Over the remaining weeks before Christmas I'm going to focus on celebrating the very basic reality of the incarnation...the birth of the Christ...the ultimate Gift of God. You are going to hear me refer to the simplicity of the message and the simple testimony we can share with those we interact with on a daily basis. I'll explain more about the concept of simply sharing what God has revealed to us as individuals in my message this Sabbath. I am praying that as a church and as individuals we might deliberately make time to center our minds on what Jesus might want to say to us this Christmas.
