Linus then recites Luke 2:8-14

And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.  And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.  And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.  For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, which is Christ the Lord.  And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.  And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.

“That’s what Christmas is all about, Charlie Brown.”

Thank you Square for setting up the coffee!

Announcement: Please sign up for the F3 Christmas party.  If you’re not planning to attend, please mark “No” on Band.  And if you’re planning to come and bring family, please say how many in the comments.

 

-Prayers for Care Bear, his son’s best friend’s mom just passed away.  Big changes for Charles.  Charles spends a lot of time at Care Bear’s house.

-Prayers for Cholula and his family after the passing of his mom

-Prayers for Toke, his family, and his son

-Prayers for Red Card as he has an outdoor soccer tournament all weekend

We all may be block heads from time to time like Charlie Brown, but as long as we stay humble, and remember the real reason behind Christmas, we can have peace, knowing we have a king and savior who loves us so much that he left the glory of heaven to live a life here on earth with us, to show us the way, and to walk along side of us no matter what we’re facing, and to ultimately die in our place to open the way to the Father.  This was a fun one that I did last year, and made some changes to it for this year.  Definitely fun hearing all the different movie quotes being thrown around during the WO!  I think we freaked out a lady walking her dog…she was looking at the sea of swirley-twirly gum drops, and the Candy Cane forest, and as Trojan said, I think she thought we were a cult.  Especially when we’re doing sit ups and yelling Kevin!

 

Awesome job guys!
