George Fridlender to Speak and Sing
Sunday - December 20 - 10:15 a.m.

George Fridlender was born and reared behind the Iron Curtain in the old Soviet Union. His father spent 17 years in a Siberian concentration camp. George was arrested by the KGB and faced a similar fate.

Hear how God delivered him and brought him to the United States to receive an advanced degree from the Juilliard School of Music in New York. George was an international opera singer until 1994 when God called him to share the miracle of his deliverance with churches in America.

"Bro. Calvin's Comments"

It’s hard to believe that it’s Christmas time again. Christmas décor fills the stores and we begin to plan visits with family and friends. Our calendars fill with parties, fellowships, meal planning, and shopping.
As I thought about all this, the Lord brought to mind Micah 5:2, which says “Bethlehem Ephrathah, you are small among the clans of Judah; One will come from you to be ruler over Israel for Me. His origin is from antiquity, from eternity” (HCSB).
Like the wise men that came to Jerusalem seeking the One born King of the Jews, many expect to find God in the big places and the big events. Yet the Lord chose that Jesus (the Bread of Life – John 6:35) would be born in the small town of Bethlehem (which means “house of bread”). God has not always chosen the strongest, the biggest, the fastest, or the most famous to do His will. He often has chosen the weakest, the smallest, the slowest, or the least known to fulfill His will. Jesus Himself had “no appearance that we should desire Him” (Isa. 53:2b). What lesson is there for all of us? Simply this - no one is insignificant in the eyes of our Lord Jesus. You have opportunities to serve our Lord in this life. There is no action that is too small and insignificant in the kingdom of God. If you are a believer, God has entrusted you with His Gospel. As you celebrate Christmas this season, remember that the Lord loves you, has promised to always be with you, and will one day come and receive you to Himself. I encourage you to share this with your friends and family this year.
“How silently, how silently The wondrous gift is giv’n! So God imparts to human hearts The blessings of His heav’n. No ear may hear His coming But in this world of sin, Where meek souls will receive Him, still the dear Christ enters in. O holy Child of Bethlehem! Descend to us, we pray; Cast out our sin, and enter in, Be born in us today! We hear the Christmas angels The great glad tidings tell; O come to us, abide with us, Our Lord Immanuel!” Phillips Brooks, “O Little Town of Bethlehem,” Baptist Hymnal (1991), 86.

The greatest gift you could ever give to someone is to lead them to a saving relationship with Jesus Christ. One great way to encourage them is to invite them to Sunday School with you. Call someone you know and invite them to come with you this Sunday! Maybe that someone is a member of your family. Encourage them to come with you this Sunday! Let us fill up the Lord’s House this Sunday!

May you have a wonderful Christmas
and New Years with your family and friends.
Spend time honoring Jesus with your family.
Sing carols, read the Christmas story, and pray.
Merry Christmas!
to all our wonderful church family!
With love, from Daniel, Anna, Patty, & Max.

Invite someone today to Sunday School and Worship!
