Church Family Christmas

Christmas is just around the corner and then the new year will be here. For many people its a time of Family, Friends, and Reflection. The focus on these tree things is a magnifier for your life. You either immediately thought of positive things or negative things. That big family Thanksgiving or that empty place at the table and in your heart.



One thing that should be a positive and big portion of those memories is your Church Family. This is an excerpt from a website called "Got Questions" -

So what does the Bible say about family? The physical family is the most important building block to human society, and as such, it should be nurtured and protected. But more important than that is the new creation that God is making in Christ, which is comprised of a spiritual family, the Church, made up of all people who call upon the Lord Jesus Christ as Savior. This is a family drawn "from every nation, tribe, people and language" (Revelation 7:9), and the defining characteristic of this spiritual family is love for one another: "A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another" (John 13:34-35).

It has become brutally clear in our Youth Group that we as a Church need to reestablish the picture of Family.

The "Tailgate Party" we had a while ago was a great picture of the just that. A Church Family coming together to support and love on each other.

Another opportunity for that will be December 21st- An evening of Christmas music, Fun and Food. But most importantly an opportunity to just hang out with each other.
So watch for more details and come to Mehan Church on Sunday Evening December 21st.

Love from the Family- David, Krista, Kash, and Kody
