Christmas is an odd time to be a pastor. When everyone around us is gathering with their families for dinner and parties, we are often at our busiest: making sure that the candlelight service is ready to go, ensuring that our music is on point, and putting the final touches on our services so that those who visit for the first time will feel welcome and encouraged to come back. We know the hours that you have put in, we know the blood, sweat, and tears that you have invested in this season, and we know the passion you have to share the love of Jesus with the world around us during this special time of year.
We see you.
We are grateful for you.
We are praying for you.
Thank you for all that you do for the sake of the Gospel. We are cheering for you as you share Christ with the world around us. But our greatest prayer for you during this season is that you will take the time to pause, to breathe, and to celebrate the birth of Christ yourself. Revel in the joy of Christmas, soak in the wonder of his miraculous birth, and play well with your family and friends.
We love you. Merry Christmas!
Matt, Todd, and the entire Chemistry team
