Every year Evergreen Christian Community offers a community concert during the Christmas season and this year the event is tonight, December 11
th and tomorrow night, December 12
th. These concerts are always special to me as they are a wonderful opportunity to unite family and friends and begin the Holiday season with a reflection on what this time of year is really about. I hope that this year as you are buzzing around from shop to shop, finding the perfect gifts for all the delightful people on your gift list, you'll take a moment to look around you at all the other people doing the same. Take in the warmth of community. Take in what should be joy and excitement as you find the perfect gift and look forward with anticipation to the face of the recipient once you reveal your finding. As you look around, if you don't sense joy but see the looks of frazzled stress and the like, I would encourage you to put a large smile on your face and become an agent of joy and peace. There is nothing like a warm smile to put life into perspective. And if you need a good reason to smile and an opportunity to find your joy and peace for this season I encourage you to come out tonight or tomorrow at 7pm and allow us to impart it to you through the beauty of music.
Joy & Peace,
Seth Winterhalter
