Hi folks,
I am listening to Christmas music right now in my
study. A little early? Not for me.
I am already busy working with P33 and Messy Church leaders planning
Advent at Knox.
As you know, we put a lot of effort into the Christmas
season. Partly because Christmas is my
absolute favourite and partly because people are most open to Jesus at
Christmas.
Advent is just 4 Sundays from now and I want to start
spreading the word now about what we are doing because I want you to join me
and the leaders of Knox in praying for it.
Sure we can get people out on Christmas Eve, but with this
series I can’t help thinking about something that my wife, said to me the other
day. She said, “If we could get people
in not just on Christmas Eve but from the start of Advent we could change their
lives.”
I know it is hard for people to make the decision to gather
with us in worship, but would you join me in praying that people come? Not just Christmas Eve, but all of
Advent. Can you imagine how joyous it
would be to see people and families make Jesus part of their Christmas
experience?
So please pray for us as we plan and perhaps the Holy Spirit
will lead you to someone who needs an invitation to Jesus this Christmas.
In Christ,
Rev. Alton J. Ruff
