Hey Midcurrent,

I want to take just a brief moment to wish all of you a Happy Thanksgiving. No matter what you have planned, I pray that it is a meaningful time of rest and connection with those that you love. Let me also encourage you to find some way this week to show appreciation for and return kindness to the people in your life who have impacted you in meaningful ways. You might also find a way to express your gratitude to God as well.

As a church family, one of the opportunities we have to return kindness to others is to shop for Christmas presents for families in our community who are in need of extra assistance this year. We have sponsored 25 kids for Operation Help’s annual Christmas Campaign. Most tags were taken this past Sunday, but there are still a few left for you to grab this week. You’ve still got time to go shopping and return your gifts back here to Midcurrent so we can transfer them all to the right place at the right time.

Hope to see you Sunday as we begin a brand new three week message series called What A Gift. When Jesus was born, three wiseman traveled a great distance to present three seemingly obscure gifts to the new born king. During our December series, we’ll explore how each of these gifts (gold, frankincense, and myrrh) reveal something special about the true identity of Jesus. Whether they knew it or not, the gifts these wiseman brought told the story of God and the part that Jesus played in it. Each week, we’ll discover what each gift reveled about who Jesus was and why God sent him from heaven to earth.

Can’t wait to celebrate the Christmas season with you!
