It's "That Time Of Year" again.
Rushing around, lack of money, lack of energy, lack of patience. Is this how Christmas is meant to be? Of course not. But it seems that we can't celebrate the Birth of the Lord without all these added stresses. But there are good times too. Singing carols to 'shut-ins' who never have the chance of going out. Seeing your child's face light up when opening their present. Catching up with old friends through letters and cards. Last week, our little Church set out with a small band of people to do door knocking. We covered 300 homes. Each home got a leaflet inviting them to our carols in the Carpark this Saturday as well as a glossy print brochure wishing them a Blessed Christmas with a pen with our Church name, phone number and website - which by the way is - www.eccek.org.au - It was with trepidation that we set off on foot to start door knocking. A couple of hours later we all met up again at the church- weary, hot, thirsty, and excited. The response was very favourable with only a small handful of people not wanting to talk to us. We are praying that some of these contacts will come along to the Carols on the saturday night, or on the Sunday Morning at church, where the singing and items usually sound better as it's inside. We have more pens to give out and will probably do another door knock close to Easter and cover houses that we missed this time.
