Church Christmas Letter 2024
Joy to the World, our Savior’s Come!
The greatest announcement the world has ever received is found in Luke 2:10-12 – But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord. This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.”
Coosa Valley Church of God has special activities for all our church family to come together and celebrate the birth of our Savior Jesus Christ. We are so excited to see everyone, so please make sure that you write these dates down or place them on the calendar on your phone with reminders so that you don’t miss them.
To show our love and Christmas Spirit to each other and to our Pastor, his wife and daughter, we are asking our CV family to please get a card or write a note letting Pastor Andy and his family know how much you love them. Please enclose a love offering as well. We will have a special gift bag for those who worship IN-HOUSE so that you may drop your card on or before Sunday, December 15th, 2024.
If you are going to be worshiping on LIVE FEED, please mail the card along with your Christmas love offering directly to Rev. and Mrs. Andy Lambert, 970 River Rd., Cropwell, Al. 35054. We hope you will be able to do this so they will receive your offering on or before Sunday, December 15th, 2024.
If you have any Christmas cards for our CV family, you are welcome to bring them to any service for you to hand them out. If you know that someone to whom you wish to send a Christmas card but does not worship IN-HOUSE, there will be a basket in the foyer to place them in and Pastor Andy will deliver them. We will have some mailing labels printed, and they will be placed on the information table in the lobby for anyone who wishes to use them. You can also access these on the mobile app: CV CONNECT.
This has been a challenging year for so many of our church family, so let’s all come together and really show each other the Love of Christ this Christmas. We can do this by phone call, visit, or simply exchanging Christmas Cards with one another.
Here are the events that will be taking place in person:
- Monday, December 2nd, 2024 – Please come out and help us decorate the church for Christmas. It is a fun time of fellowship to help place the Christmas trees and all the decorations around the church for the Christmas season! Times will be announced later.
- Friday, December 6th, 2024 – Women’s Christmas party at 6:00 p.m. in the Fellowship Hall at the church. Please bring a dish of your choice for everyone to enjoy and bring a $10 wrapped Christmas ornament that can be swapped with someone else at the party. The Women’s Ministry needs volunteers to decorate a table; this is a fun activity that the Women’s Ministry does every year. If you are interested, please see Sister Kerri or Sister Francis as soon as possible.
- Saturday, December 7th, 2024 – Men’s Breakfast at Cracker Barrel in Pell City at 8:00 a.m.
- Sunday, December 15th, 2024 – Church Christmas Fellowship Lunch. The lunch will be after service. There will be a menu sign-up sheet in the foyer.
- Sunday, December 22nd, 2024 – Will be having a wonderful and powerful Christmas service and would love everyone to be there if possible. This will be a great service to be IN-HOUSE to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ!
There is no denying this has been a difficult year for all of us. Yet, we’re so glad that you remain a steadfast member of our church family. Christmas is not about what you get, it’s what you give, and we want to thank you all for being an amazing friend and example of charity and faith! Please pay close attention to your texts, emails, our church website and social media for any changes, additions, or other announcements.
God Bless you and Merry Christmas!
Sincerely,
Stephanie Nichols
