GATHERING

Blessings to one and all! We have another great edition during this new and exciting
season! We are in the homestretch of 2014 and the year is quickly coming to a close.
Everything about this season evokes change that is undeniable. Nevertheless, the
most poignant stabilizer in all of our lives is our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Whether
young or old, male or female, rich or poor, saint or sinner, the power of the blood transcends
all lines and barriers. And truthfully, that is what we love most about the end of the
year! First we have November - the month where we give thanks. We can go down the list
for what we are thankful for and fill a whole library with our praise! Psalm 118:1 says “O
give thanks unto the Lord; for he is good: because his mercy endureth for ever.” We take
great pride in being willing and obedient to all that the word of God instructs us to!
Then we come to our beloved month of December where families are appreciated
and love runs deep. We always want to remember, though, the true reason for the
season. It is all about the birth of Jesus! This material world fades like the melting
snow, but power of Jesus remains! We’re just here to help keep you on track. So please buy
your gifts and bake your pies, but know that we all must commemorate the greatest gift
ever betrothed to mankind: A humble King that was born in a manger to a virgin! Jesus is
His name and we would love to wish you all an incredibly Merry Christmas and a Happy
New Year!
We hope you enjoy our articles and offerings in this edition! For more information,

Temple. God bless and we would love to see you real soon!
