FOOD FOR THOUGHT: CHRISTMAS And CHURCH SERVICES – Find One Near You And Attend!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

**What is CHRISTMAS – is the yearly commemoration & Celebration of\nGod\u2019s LOVE to mankind in the BIRTH of our Lord & Saviour Christ Jesus and\nHis REDEMPTION CAUSE on earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

**What is the CHURCH – is the voluntarily gathering of people to\nFELLOWSHIP with each other and WORSHIP and SERVE God WORTHILY and ACCEPTABLY\nunder a designated Shepherd – Pastor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The service in the Church highlights the Christmas. In the MORNING or at start it is called the GATHERING or COMING TOGETHER – The MASS Service \u2013 Celebration and Commemoration – Hebrews 10:24-25<\/strong>; while in the EVENING or at closing it is called BENEDICTION – Professing, Declaration, Proclamation – which is the act of PRAYER in endorsing and invoking the divine Trinity. And that is: “The GRACE – which is The ACTS of Christ; The LOVE – which is The ACTS of the Father God; and The COMMUNION (Fellowship) – which is The ACTS of the Holy Spirit. 2 Corinthians 13:14.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

These BENEDICTION ACTS are often said after this manner occasionally: “May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God and the communion of the Holy Spirit”<\/em> be with you and those you care about – This Christmas. Amen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Therefore, endeavour to attend to the Church services near you if\nthere’s an opening of their door of services on Christmas day. And to know full\nwell that:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“SELFISHNESS makes CHRISTMAS a burden but LOVE makes CHRISTMAS an INDESCRIBABLE celebration and commemoration of PEACE, HOPE, FAITH, JOY and GOODWILL to all mankind”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“And let us CONSIDER one another to PROVOKE unto LOVE and to GOOD WORKS: 25 not FORSAKING the ASSEMBLING of ourselves together, as the MANNER of some is; but EXHORTING one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching” <\/em>Hebrews 10:25.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen”<\/em> 2 Corinthians 13:14.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
