Wow! I can’t believe that we are so close to Christmas already! Some people have their Christmas lights and other decorations out already, the stores are filled with all of their Christmas displays and Christmas Songs are already playing on my car radio!
So this Sunday we’re going to jump right in to our Christmas Season as well. Our new Series, called “The Christmas Story”, is going to be very special as we bring out applications of Christ’s Birth each week.
This Sunday will be “The Shepherds Watch” and some great applications are included for us all.
For now, I sign off by including what I personally consider to be one of the best “Christmas Verses” of all time which is a quote from Jesus, himself, found in the Gospel of John. This verse explains why Christmas is so meaningful to all of us…
John 3:16-17 (NLT)
16 “For this is how God loved the world: He gave[a] his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life. 17 God sent his Son into the world not to judge the world, but to save the world through him.
Have a great weekend and I’ll see you in church soon!

We want to give a special “Thank You” to all of you who donated items, gave of your labor and extended your prayers for the work of South Coast Church San Ysidro. Our new pastors, Hector and Silvia Ortiz, extend their sincere gratitude as they settle into the parsonage and lead our San Ysidro Church Family into a great future in the Lord!
Please note that there will be NO WEDNESDAY NIGHT SERVICE this week. Be sure to enjoy your Thanksgiving Holiday and we’ll see you again next week!
Now, giving can take seconds—and isn’t limited to Sunday mornings. It’s a cinch to set up recurring gifts, which means you’ll have a more predictable budget. Plus, you can choose to cover the transaction fee.
