Dear friends and siblings in Christ,

It is the happiest time of the year!  Let me inform you what will happen in OCECC community: There will be 4 events, we can name them as Christmas Candles: Faith 信心、Hope希望、Love 慈爱和Joy 喜乐

1st event-Faith:  On this Sunday, 12/19 (10:00-11:30), We have a honor to have a guest speaker, Dr. Don Sweeting, new president of Reformed Theological Seminary at Orlando.  Don has been a pastor for many years and adjunct professor in church history in other seminary before he join the leadership at RTS and professor in Church History.  He will talk about Light and Life in his message, you don’t want to miss this blessed opportunities.

2nd event-Hope: On next Thursday, 12/23 (7-8pm), we as usual will join Northland church’s Christmas Eve celebration (free admission, http://www.northlandchurch.net/christmas/ ) as our worship and prayer meeting (no Wed prayer meeting), you need be there 30 min earlier to get seating.

And after that, the brothers and sisters who will participate OCECC’s Christmas Eve Celebration shall be in OCECC church building for dress rehearsal round 8-8:15pm
(You can park in OCECC and walk there to avoid traffic in Northland Church’s event)    

3rd event-Love: On Next Friday, 12/24 (8-9:30pm), it is OCECC Christmas Musical Celebration, I know you would miss this one, even you have to miss other events. Let’s all come and have a joyful Christmas Eve in the House of Lord.

4th event-Joy: On Next Sunday- Day after Christmas Day, 12/26 (10-11:30am). It is rare to have Lord’s day (Sunday) just after Christmas Day (Sat).  Are you expect to receive double blessing in your life in the year ahead of us?  Let us begin to crown Jesus with many crowns together!  I have heard that others who will take the vacation at Orlando during Christmas time will join us to worship King of Kings and Lord of Lords together!
