1 O come LET US ADORE HIM! Christmas Concert HERE AT CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP. FEATURING THE SANCTUARY CHOIR. FRIENDS. AND SPECIAL GUESTS. 2012 AND. FAMILY DAY. CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH OF CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP. GREETINGS WELCOME FAMILY AND FRIENDS! From Rev. James K. McKnight The psalmist wrote I will bless the Lord at all times; His praise shall con- tinually be in my Mouth! (Psalm 34:1) I feel like giving God praise on the occasion of Friends and Family Day because we are experiencing something wonderful. It is absolutely wonderful to come together as a community to worship the Lord, pray, learn about growing in Christ, experience God in- spired fellowship and so much more! The word community is such an important word for Christians and what we are experiencing today is great for building community. Thank you for accepting an invitation from someone who obviously cares deeply for you.

2 At CCCF, I teach that we should share the love of God with our friends and family, pray for our friends and family, encourage our friends and family to get into a vibrant relationship with Jesus Christ and last but not least invite our friends and family to church. What more loving thing can we do for one another than share Jesus' love, the message of the Gospel and all of His other benefits? Your presence at this service is a real blessing to our church. We are tran- sitioning and our focus is honoring God, developing Christians, connecting people and loving everybody. God has even given me a new vision statement. See if you can catch this We are an intergenerational, diverse, ever- growing family of disciples of Jesus Christ who maintain enthusiasm for lov- ing, learning, helping and sharing because each of us knows that nothing is more satisfying than partnering with God in the process of bettering lives.
