It was another remarkable day at Sunset Chapel! The worship team started our service with an extended set of Christmas caroling! Smiles abounded throughout the sanctuary as the team presented this wonderful array of Christmas favorites! I have to admit there were a few that were unfamiliar to me. Having John Kricker add his voice and levity to this singing Christmas presentation was over the top hilarious! Where he gets his bursts of energy is totally amazing! He was definitely a crowd favorite!
I completed the series "The Gift of Change" on Sunday and received so much positive feedback that our media team is preparing this three set mini-series of messages for future purchase. When they have the set completed, we will inform those who are interested when they will be available. God extends His ability to "change" our "hearts, circumstances and families" if we will surrender control to Him. His plans and purposes for our lives are incredible! When the pain of the same becomes greater than the pain of change it's at that point we are ready to take the necessary steps to see improvement in our life situations! Sunday's message concerning the "Gift of Change for Families" was probably one of the most needed in sometime for several in our Sunset Chapel church family. If you missed it YOU NEED TO GET A SET OF THESE MESSAGES.
We received our first ever Christmas Gift Offering to assist several struggling families to provide holiday cheer to their children. Our offering totalled $1,948.00!! Thank you so much for helping us bring some joy into the hearts of these children who otherwise were going to have a bleak or no Christmas gifts this year. We have 7 families with 15 kid's that we want to bless. It's not to late to help us. If God lays it on your heart to contribute to this effort there's still time. You can drop your donation off at the church this week by Thursday morning before 10:00 AM or you can make an online donation by going to our website SUNSETCHAPEL.COM and clicking on the giving icon and following the prompts. Be sure to mark your donation "Christmas Gift" so that it can be applied to our efforts to bless these families!

| Surprise Birthday Party |
After the service the entire church stayed over for an early birthday celebration for me! This Tuesday is my actual birthday. I am overwhelmed by everyone's generosity and love. Thank you to all who gave me so many wonderful cards and gifts. I joked with everyone that they couldn't put any candles on the cake because the fire department couldn't be on standby since I had become an official "fire hazard"!
