MARY HAD A LITTLE LAMB
Recently I had the car radio on “scan” and stopped the search on a Chris5an radio sta5on. I stopped at that spot on the radio dial because it was playing a beau5ful arrangement of “Just As I Am.” “Just As I Am” has come to be closely associated with the invita5ons given at the end of Billy Graham crusade services. It is the ul5mate “invita5on” hymn. The lyrics to that hymn are really quite moving. Verse 3 is especially descrip5ve of “postmodern” Americans:
Just as I am, though tossed about
With many a conflict, many a doubt,
figh5ngs and fears within, without,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come.
As I listened to the words in the quiet of the car I was struck with how universal they are, and how down to earth (literally) the story of Christmas is. Christmas is a “just as I am” story. Just as you and I are, God came to earth to be with us. There is nothing about the Christmas story that says, “This is for special people only.” To the contrary, the story shouts to all with ears to hear it, “Whosoever will may come to the manger and behold the lamb of God, born to take away the sins of every visitor to that humble place.”
I felt in my soul a longing for everyone to feel the tug of that open door invita5on.
For a moment I felt a deep wish that every name on our membership roll would feel again that they are welcome “just as” they are. FIRST UNITED METHODIST CHURCH (USPS 671-560) published monthly periodicals postage paid at Albany, Georgia. POSTMASTER: Send address changes to First United
Methodist Church, 307 Flint Avenue, Albany, Georgia 31701-2507.
I am far from the first preacher to look at the Christmas scene and say, “Mary had a liSle lamb.” But I want to gladly affirm that great truth again. Mary gave birth to the one who would become history’s greatest offering. Just as I am, without one plea
But that thy blood (O Lamb of God)
Was shed for me, and that thou bidst me come to thee,
O Lamb of God, I come. I come.
“O come let us adore him…” Christ the Lord…Christ the Lamb…just as we are.

BE GENEROUS! With all the hoopla surrounding Christmas, it is easy to lose focus
No WNS
on why we celebrate it in the first place. To help us keep focused on the true reason
December 31
for the season, we will be studying generosity this month in children's Sunday school,
No WNS
Kindergarten - 5th Grade. Generosity is making someone's day by giving something
away. When we learn to give like God gives, it changes us. Our memory verse for the
month is a great reminder for us. "Be rich in good deeds, be generous and willing to
share," 1 Timothy 6:18. This month, we hope kids will discover what it really means to be rich - to let God's generosity show up in their lives
and help them get wrapped up in others.
HEY PARENTS, DID YOU KNOW? There is a downloadable app for your smart phone that will help you grow your children in their
relationship with Christ. It is called Parent Cue. The content mirrors what is being taught to your child in Sunday school (Kdg-5th Grade).
This app will provide you with simple CUES throughout the week that remind you to pause and make the most of everyday moments like
drive time, meal time, and bed time. Check it out!

Music
"
MINISTRY Over the last five years, the Sanctuary Choir has been blessed by the active participation of college student musicians
"
from the Albany area. The Herrington Scholarship program was designed to assist college music students who are
interested in pursuing a career in church music and to bring younger faces to our choir. The program affords students the opportunity to
study alongside seasoned choral singers and musicians in an environment conducive to learning and exploring vocational music ministry. If you are looking for a place to give back to the church, please consider making a donation to the Herrington Music Scholarship. If you
have further questions contact Brandon Keaton in the church office, 432-7407.

If you drink Coke products and are not
"
using your Coke rewards points we would
"
love to have them for THRiVE Student
Ministries. On most every Coca-Cola product there is a Coke
rewards code (a string of numbers and letters) that can be
entered on the Coca-Cola website to collect points. With these
points we can purchase Coke products for the youth group at
no cost. This is not an endorsement for Coca-Cola or any soft
drinks, but is a way that we can save some money on items we
already purchase for the youth. The codes are normally under
the caps of bottles, inside the cardboard flap on 12 packs, and
on the inside of the plastic wrap on cases of Dasani, CocaCola, Powerade, etc. If you have rewards codes that you would
like to turn in, give them to Meri Beth or myself or bring them to
the front office to be placed in one of our boxes. Thank you for
supporting THRiVE Student Ministries, George
