    A three-year-old was helping his mother unpack the Christmas decorations. When he came to the nativity set, he announced each piece with excitement. Heres the donkey! Heres Mary! When he picked up the baby in the manger, he shouted, Heres baby Jesus in his car seat. We usually see things through the eyes of our culture. But whatever age you are, Christmas is a time of joy and hope. Be sure to tell someone about it. Please note our schedule for the weekend of Christmas. The Christmas Eve worship (5:00 p.m.) is always a wonderful time. It lasts about an hour and that leaves you time for other activities on that evening. If I were God, I think I would have arrived on earth in a more spectacular way. Maybe half time at the Super bowl, or AL-LSU Championship game. Lots of fireworks, thunder and the leaders of the world lined up on the 50 yard line. But he chose to come to our world the same way everybody else does-by being born. Why? Because God came to save us, not impress us. He came in a way that showed he loved us. Ill See you Sunday,

    God has truly blessed the Fuller family this year as we went through the surgery with Robin. We will get the pathology report this week, but let me say that the presence of the Lord filled our lives as we walked and held the hand of Jesus. God is so good. I'm so proud of the music family at Eastmont. Each year this group is ready to follow their leaders as God leads. The technical crew, video, light and sound, had another great year. The decorations committee did a marvelous job as usual. Rick Hendrick was the right person for our narration; he gave each word the emphasis needed to bring the words to life. A special thanks to Danny McDonald for stepping in and lending a helping hand when needed; and a special thanks to our Childrens Choirs, Director Tracie Griggs & parents who assisted Gayla, Jayne and Cliff make a wonderful team with which to work. They are always ready to go the extra mile to bring our program together. You, our Eastmont family, make possible each year a time for this ministry to present quality programs. You invite friends and family, promote our programs, and encourage each member of the music family. Our thanks to all of you. Merry Christmas,
