This fall we've been concentrating on values that we have here at Christ the King: so far, we've talked about Caring, Acceptance, and Family.  In December we turn to Joy as our worship emphasis.  

We're getting closer to the big day - Christmas!  The day the angels sang to the shepherds "To you is born this day in the city of David a Savior - Christ the Lord!"  It's supposed to be a "message of great joy to all people" - but there are still a lot of people who can't see the joy.  The struggles, sins, and problems of their lives are overwhelming and complex, and they just can't seem to see a light at the end of the tunnel.  But the birth of Jesus tells us that, even if they can't see it yet, the light has come to lead them out of the tunnel, the valley of the shadow of darkness, into the waiting and loving arms of Jesus.
