It's Christmas Eve morning. Snow is gently falling in Cookeville and it is beautiful. Tonight, we will worship at 6:30pm. It will be a candlelight and communion service for the whole family. Throughout Advent, we have heard about Mary and Joseph and their dreams. Tonight, we will meet Jesus, God's gift to us and God's representative of the divine dream of peace on earth, good will to all.
All are invited to join us as we welcome the Prince of Peace.
God's hand, Express God's love, Expand God's kingdom. The blog of Pat Handlson & First Pres Cookeville.

A Different Kind of King
Jesus came to rule over all. It's the last Sunday of the church year and it has become known as Christ the King Sunday. But Jesus came, not with a crown of gold but with a crown of thorns. He didn't come to accumulate power but to give it away. Now we, who claim to be citizens of that kingdom, are the hands and feet, the eyes and ears of the kingdom on earth. Whatever we do reflects our faith. When we help others, we look like God and they can see God in us. What a great way to end the year.
