GREENSTONE GAZETTE Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, December 2018 Once again we come to the end of the year. But wait, we still have a month to go! Funny how the year can seem so long in January (especially if you are a child with a late in the year birthday!) but seems so short once we come to December. We still have a month to go - one whole twelfth of the year - but it seems like the year is almost over. Maybe if we knew the exact date and time of Jesus’ Second Coming, we would feel that way about Advent too. On the other hand, maybe this is why God doesn’t give us that deadline. We would wait until the last minute, then scramble. Advent, this reminder that God has come to earth in Jesus Christ and that Christ will come again at a time of God’s own choosing, is our wake-up call. We are to live now as if the Coming were announced to be tomorrow. This Advent season we will be focusing on what the Incarnation means for us today. It is easy for us to look back nostalgically at the romantic story of a child born in the midst of winter, in the midst of a census called by an occupying government. We know the story has a happy ending - at least ultimately with the resurrection. But there are many ups and downs throughout Jesus’ life - from the flight of his family to Egypt to escape Herod’s frantic attempts to hold on to power, Deacons are collecting NEW to Jesus Christ’s death on the cross. It is in the fullness of Jesus Christ’s life, a life UNWRAPPED toys until Dec lived fully human and fully divine, that brings our faith the depth and reality that gives us strength each day to live into God’s vision for all. It is in the completeness 9 for the Toys for Tots drive. of God the Son’s unity with humanity that demonstrates what we are called, as the Help fill our box. Body of Christ, to proclaim in our witness to God’s loving mercy and grace offered through forgiveness of repentance from sin. Where do we see the signs of Christ’s Incarnation in the world today? We see them in the kindness shown by many Mexicans to strangers who are traveling through their country to seek asylum in ours. Though the media have been more focused on those who are irritated by these strangers, we know that many more have offered comfort, food, and shelter to those who have so little. We may not all agree on the rights of persons to come to this country seeking asylum, but I don’t believe any of us want them to go hungry, or exposed to the elements of weather or violence. Many of those offering help have very little themselves. But they see in these travelers the faces of Mary and Joseph fleeing with the infant Jesus. So they respond. And in responding, they are the Body of Christ, reaching out to the least of these. We see Christ’s incarnation in our daily lives as well. In the kindness of a member who rushed home to get a nebulizer machine when I mentioned that the one the doctor had ordered probably wouldn’t arrive for several days. In the love which our deacons show, on our behalf, to a woman who needed help. In the cards we send to our homebound members. In the backpacks lovingly, and prayerfully, packed before the start of school - and in the relationships which this project allows us to have with various community groups. In the child we sponsor. In the joy we experience as we worship and fellowship together. In the spiritual growth we have Christ the King Sunday through our study of the Scriptures. The list goes on and on. In this Advent Season, and beyond, let us consider how the Incarnation of Nottingham Presbyterian Jesus Christ, God’s Word made flesh, God’s only begotten Son born that we might Church: Seeking partner- live, impacts our days and nights throughout the year. In our meditations, let us ships with local organizations hear God’s call to each of us to be part of the Body of the living Christ, sharing in pursuit of God’s vision for God’s love in many ways, to all. the greater Nottingham area. In Christ’s love, Pastor Merritt GREENSTONE GAZETTE Oxford Presbyterian Women’s Christmas Fellowship Dinner December 11 at 6:30pm in the OPC Fellowship Hall. All women are invited.

Santa Claus (also known as Saint Nicholas, Saint Nick, Father Christmas, Kris Kringle, Santy or simply Santa) is a folklore figure in various cultures who distributes gifts to children, normally on Christmas Eve . Each name is a variation of Saint Nicholas , but refers to Santa Claus. In today's North American, European and worldwide celebration of Christmas, people young and old simply refer to the hero of the season as Santa , or Santa Claus. (Wikipedia) Conventionally, Santa Claus is portrayed as a kindly, round-bellied, merry, bespectacled white man in a red coat trimmed with white fur, with a long white beard . On Christmas Eve, he rides in his sleigh pulled by flying reindeer from house to house to give presents to children. To enter the house, Santa Claus comes down the chimney and exits through the fireplace . During the rest of the year he lives together with his wife Mrs. Claus and his elves manufacturing toys . Some modern depictions of Santa (often in advertising and popular entertainment) will show the elves and Santa's workshop as more of a processing and distribution facility, ordering and receiving the toys from various toy manufacturers from across the world.

  • The Legend of the Poinsettia by Tomie Depaola
    The Legend of the Poinsettia By Tomie dePaola The Legend of the Poinsettia is based on an old Mexican tale that tells the story of the classic Christmas flower – the poinsettia. Young Lucida works with her mother to make a woven blanket for the Baby Jesus to wear at the church’s Christmas Nativity ceremony. Lucida tries to finish the blanket on her own when her mother gets sick, but it turns out to be a disaster. She ruins the blanket and is horribly embarrassed. Because of her, she thought, the family had no gift to give the Baby Jesus that night. Instead of joining her family for the Christmas ceremony, she hides outside the church service that Christmas Eve. An old woman approaches her to tell her that “any gift is beautiful because it is given.” Lucida looks around and all she sees is a patch of old weeds. She places the weeds around the manger and they magically turn into beautiful poinsettias.
