Unexpected Christmas

Join us this Sunday evening service (6:00pm) to the first part of the series "Unexpected Christmas" 

by Andy Stanley.  

"Shake any family tree and you never know what kind of people might fall out. Let's face it; we all have an 

uncle or a cousin we whisper about behind closed doors. We all have a relative or two we try to avoid at family 

gatherings ... but heres something you may not know. Jesus had a few shady characters in His family as well. 

Actually, He had some relatives that make your most wayward cousin look like a saint."

Greetings all, 

Last night I attended the valedictory service at the Methodist Seminary.  I usually go with my tail between the legs to such events.  However I was pleasantly surprised at the 'village' as they like to call it.  The attitude and spirit of these seminarians going off to serve God in the circuit was very heartwarming.  There are always aches and pains in the birthing of any project but the result is a 'child' the Methodist church can be very proud of.  The calibre of minister coming through our training has turned right around.  It was also encouraging to see that about six valedictorians were from the Congregational church.  The best part of the evening was when our very own Motlatsi Letsoko walked up to claim the Peter Story award for the best overall seminarian of the 2011 intake.  It takes quite something to achieve this - well done Motlatsi.   

Grace, 

David

David's Notes

There is always something exciting coming up on the church calendar at the end of the year. Next week Friday at 6:30pm we will be having the Circuit Carol Service at the Methodist Seminary in town. If you have never been to the new seminary, this is your opportunity. There will be a 50+ choir comprised of all the church's in PMB and surrounds. Then next week Sunday there is a Christmas service prepared by the "Young Seekers" at our 9:00am service. There will also be a Christmas social on the 1st of December where families will gather for some fun, song and the sharing of gifts. Just before Christmas we will also be having a Christmas Taize service to prepare our hearts.  If it doesn't mist in Hilton at the end of each year it is certainly bound to snow.
