November 30, 2011 in Devotionals, Uncategorized, Weekly News with 0 Comments

Hi Friends,

There’s quite a bit happening in and around The Village Church at Vinings during the Advent/Christmas season! Here’s a basic schedule to mark you calendars. Write back if you’d like more information.

Dec. 1 (Thursday): Ken Boa, a brilliant local Bible teacher and scholar, and the teaching elder at Christ Church Anglican, will present a lecture on It’s a Wonderful Life in his “Faith in Film” series. This visual presentation will use clips and stills from the film to present relational, moral, and spiritual themes in this Christmas classic. Thursday, Dec. 1 at 6:30 at Peachtree Road UMC fellowship hall.

Dec. 4 (Sunday): Lunch for the SAY Yes! families at New Life Covenant Church at 12:30PM. Right after church this Sunday we’ll head down to English Ave and help serve a meal to all the SAY Yes! families. Contact Carlyn ([email protected]) if you’d like to help-out.

Dec. 11 (Sunday) – Dan and Shelly Owens are doing a living nativity at their house as an outreach to their neighborhood. If you’d like to help or if you’d like for your kids to be involved, contact [email protected]

Dec. 18 (Sunday) – Village Kids will be singing carols and reading scriptures during the worship service. TIme to invite the grandparents!

Dec. 18 (Sunday) – Young Adult Christmas Party. Contact [email protected]

Dec. 21 (Wednesday) – VCV Youth Christmas Party at the home of Peter & Charlotte McNally from 7-10pm. Bring a white elephant gift. Dinner will be provided. Contact Carlyn at [email protected] for more info.

Dec. 24 (Saturday) – On Christmas Eve we’ll have a simple Nine Lessons and Carols service at Rod and Linda Gray’s home. Nine Lessons and Carols is a traditional, participatory Anglican service involving, as the name says, reading nine scripture passages and singing nine Christmas carols. Musicians from VCV as well as some special guests will be involved. This is a meaningful way to celebrate the coming Messiah! Children are welcome. More details coming soon.

Dec. 25 (Sunday) – We will have a simple worship service on Christmas morning! 10:30-11:30 sharp. The nursery will be open for parents to take fussy babies, but there will be no childcare and no children’s church for that morning. Normal childcare will resume the next Sunday.

Collect for Tuesday in Holy Week
O God, by the passion of your blessed Son you made an
instrument of shameful death to be for us the means of life:
Grant us so to glory in the cross of Christ, that we may gladly
suffer shame and loss for the sake of your Son our Savior
Jesus Christ; who lives and reigns with you and the Holy
Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

Collect for Monday in Holy Week

Almighty God, whose most dear Son went not up to joy but
first he suffered pain, and entered not into glory before he
was crucified: Mercifully grant that we, walking in the way
of the cross, may find it none other that the way of life and
peace; through the same your Son Jesus Christ our Lord, who
lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God,
for ever and ever. Amen.

Be secure in the gospel today.

2 Corinthians 5:17-21

17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come. 18 All this is from God, who through Christ reconciled us to himself and gave us the ministry of reconciliation; 19 that is, in Christ God was reconciling the world to himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and entrusting to us the message of reconciliation. 20 Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, God making his appeal through us. We implore you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God. 21 For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.
