JOY

Yesterday we had a wonderful time at service, our pastor talked all about the difference between happiness and joy. He explained that true joy stems from the blessings of Jesus, joy is feeling at peace, it is not circumstantial. However, happiness on the otherhand is circumstantial. Unlike joy, happiness evolves from happenings, it's not a permanent feeling.
We started a new study for Christmas called "Carols" the next four weeks we will spend analyzing four different Christmas Carols, and finding the true meaning that lies beneath the yearly Christmas songs. Prepare to be blessed and joyous about the birth of our Christ and savior being born!
Along with a new study we had exciting news in service today, a Christmas tree lighting ceremony with a special guest appearance by the Christian band, ELISHAH. Wonderful band, wonderful worship and wonderful evening all together. I'll include some photos below.
Merry Christmas,
