Dear Wesley Family,

Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. And now we begin Advent and our journey to the manger. I pray
God will give you a fresh vision this Christmas and an adventure for our new year coming. We have enjoyed many things in this past month. We have baptized another young man. Welcome to the family, Cameron Baldwin. We have remembered our Saints in the church triumphant and honored our veterans. We have celebrated Thanksgiving together and we have so much for which to be thankful. We have inaugurated a third small group and they have raced off to a great beginning. We began a Young Adult ministry Wednesday night with a kick off chili supper. So much fun!! And Sunday December 1st, we have a wedding at Wesley United Methodist Church. Isn’t God good? Congratulations to Mark Denison and Susan Matusiak. Our worship team is coming together to make this place glad for the season. We have music, food, service, worship and love going on at Wesley all month. You do not want to
miss a thing. Please read your communicator carefully and watch for details.
God is always teaching us in all things. Let me close with a Christmas song that fits the season, makes us smile, and
reminds us of God’s greatness. As you hear the 12 days of Christmas this year, remember a priest hid biblical truths
in the symbols of his carol. He began with the words “On the first day of Christmas, my true love gave to me” True
love was our heavenly Father and the “me” is the Christian receiving the gifts. Then here are the gifts:
1. Partridge in a pear tree: Jesus (why? Mother birds feign injury to decoy predators from their babies-children are
taught about Jesus’ sacrifice for them)
2. Two turtle doves represent Old and New Testament
3. Three French hens symbolized faith, hope, and love.
4. Four calling birds are the four gospels
5. Five golden rings represent first five books of the Bible-Pentateuch
6. Six geese a laying are the six days of creation
7. Seven swans a swimming are the seven gifts of the Holy Spirit
8. Eight maids a milking are the eight beatitudes.
9. Nine ladies dancing represent nine choirs of angels
10. Ten lords a leaping show us the ten commandments
11. Eleven pipers piping are the eleven faithful disciples
12. Twelve drummers drumming give the twelve articles of the Apostles
Creed.
This Christmas be ready to see and hear our Lord in all things ordinary and extraordinary. He is there..

Bless you and know I love you bunches, Pastor Sarah Windham
