'Twas the Night Before Imagine Christmas...

and all through the Lord's house, not a computer is whirling with a wireless mouse. The lights are all hung from the ceiling with care, in hopes that 3000 people would soon be there!

I can't believe it is the night before IMAGINE CHRISTMAS! This month has flown by. All the rehearsals are done. All the videos are finished. All the lights are programmed. All the decorations have been set. All the lines have been memorized. All the music has been rehearsed. Now all we need is for YOU!

Let me rewind for you to the summer. It seems like just a moment ago that we were all sitting in my house, listening to music and watching videos of production elements...IMAGINATIONS running wild! The excitement was high. Thoughts were that this might be the biggest and best Christmas program that First Euless has ever done. We were working hard to dream big and make sure that every part of the Worship Ministry would be involved to bring to you IMAGINE CHRISTMAS, From The Begining.

Fast forward to December 11th... All the work has been accomplished. Now it is just time to allow you to experience it with us. To help you see Christmas in a whole new way. And I don't mean the color scheme or set on the stage. I don't mean rearranging this original Bible story. Think about this for just a minute. To us, the believer, Christmas isn't the pretty lights, trees with wrapped presents and Christmas carols. It is the appointed time that God sent us Emmanuel and fulfilled his name, "EMMANUEL, God With Us." The world was waiting for their Messiah. And after His time to come was completed and the price was paid that satisfied His Father, we were given the Holy Spirit, who lives in us. For me...Christmas is always living in me. Now we await his coming again. But until then, we have to share Christmas with the rest of the world. Not in gifts and toys...but in name. He is the One True Gift - perfect, meeting all needs. So, that is what we are doing tomorrow at First Euless. We're celebrating the time when Christmas was given once for all. Join us tomorrow at either 3 or 6 pm. Oh, and don't forget the Little Levites Pre-Show at 5:30 pm. And bring your IMAGINATION, running wild like a child's. And join with us as we re-visit this timeless story of the First Christmas. This is way better than "visions of sugar plums dancing in your heads..." See you tomorrow or watch online at www.firsteuless.com
MERRY IMAGINE CHRISTMAS!
