Beloved,
Don't miss the Christmas Cantata
this Sunday at 10:00 a.m. in the sanctuary!
What a great opportunity to invite
folks to worship and grow with us; and if you know someone who can't make it,
she/he can always listen live
via www.bnnsradio.com.
Children will worship with us
throughout the service on Sunday.
Speaking of children, see #5 below
(12/23).
7:20ers as always; but they can double-dip this
Sunday!
Ho! Ho! Ho! If you
haven't heard about Doomsday 2012 and
still wanna learn about it and maybe even participate, uh, before it's too late, call Karen at 815-544-6402 or write via kmac@belvpresbyterian.org.
A summary of one of the prayers from
last Sunday:
How thankful we
are, Lord, for Your lavish
love that cares
for us before the womb and
after the tomb.
How thankful we
are to entrust the soul of
_____ into Your
eternal embrace; knowing
the next chapter
of her life is never-ending
and incalculably
better than anything
anyone can
experience even in life that
You created as
"good" when in tandem
with You.
How thankful we
are to entrust this part
of _____'s
journey with You and back to
You and always
with You with no doubts
and complete
confidence in Your lavish
love for him
along with...
How thankful we
are for what you are
doing on the
corner of Lincoln and Main
as we have
surrendered direction,
leadership,
deacons, elders, staff,
worship,
programs, and our very lives
to You with the
prayer to say what You
want us to say
and do what You want
us to do and not
interfere with the
movement of Your
Holy Spirit to make
us
increasingly...Christian...by
walk
more than talk.
How thankful we
are for un unfenced
table of holy
communion, exorcism of
dark control
needs, Pauline insight to
consider others
better than ourselves,
and increasing
opportunities to sacrifice,
serve, and be
Yours in all things at all
times in all
places with all people.
We don't know
much; but we know we
love You; and
that's all we really need
to know as
grateful recipients of Your
lavish love
sealed by Jesus in whose
name we pray.
Amen.
Blessings and Love!
Beloved,
Updates!
1. "Arise! Shine!
Our Light has come!" The season of salting has ended and the season of
shining has begun on the corner of Lincoln and Main! It's related to the
number seven and so much... Attend one of our four growing adult education
classes on Sunday mornings and discover what that/He...
2. Pray with me for the release and
special gifting for a FM license for www.bnnsradio.com.
It's related to update #1. And if you haven't checked out the updated www.bnnsinternetradio.com website,
what are you...? The time is now.
3. If you've heard about Doomsday
2012 and want more information, call the
church office at 815-544-6402 or write Karen at kmac@belvpresbyterian.org and
she'll send the
important/vital/yet-non-life-changing-but-encouraging-for-others information to
you! The train is about to leave the station on that one and you don't
want to miss the invitation/opportunity to...
4. 815-544-3535.
5. It's not too early to share our

6. I have been asked why we have two
services on 12/16&23/12: Three reasons: (1) It's not my decision to make;
(2) Life is full of choices and there are more and more and more opportunities
on the corner of Lincoln and Main to experience greater intimacy with Him and
ya just can't be everywhere all of the time; and (3) We are not inclined to
pretend folks who attend one service will go to another service just
'cause we cancel one service to manipulate attendance at another service and,
again, go back to #2 about "Life is full of choices and..." and let's
just invite more folks to the services that you think...
