Dear Member and Friend of Baden UMC,

Happy Birthday Jesus! Merry Christmas! What a wonderful occasion

to celebrate! Many of us observe this holiday by decorating our

homes with lights. We go to the mall and buy Christmas presents,

then wrap them with elegant colors and pretty bows and place them

under the Christmas tree. In America, we are so fortunate to observe

Christmas, where many get the day off from work.

Sometimes I think that Christmas is a time for food and Christmas parties to attend. Yes, we enjoy holidays. Even more, for many it is an excuse to party? If you think about it, partying has nothing to do with the holiday it was intended for. It’s a good time to reflect and ask ourselves if we celebrate holidays for ourselves.

Take for instance the Fourth of July. Not too many would stand up and say the pledge of allegiance or read the story of our fore fathers to their children or grandchildren. Or better yet, sing the Star Spangled Banner. Instead, the tendency here is to celebrate with eating and drinking without regard to the holiday itself. The same can be said of New Years, Memorial Day, and Thanksgiving celebrations. And yes, we even do the same for Christmas.

This Christmas holiday let us honestly ask; are we celebrating just for ourselves? Songwriter Joni Mitchell wrote in a song, “Why does it seem to go that you don’t know what you got till it’s gone.” Isn’t it true that the realization of a great gift is when we no longer have them?

Fortunately, the Christmas season helps us realize what is precious to us before it’s gone. From there we can then appreciate all that we have which are life’s greatest gifts. Did you know that we already have the greatest gifts? Yes we do, we just need to realize it. Catch this, the greatest gifts are not the ones we’re waiting to receive, but the ones we already have!

The problem is we live in a society with Madison Avenue marketing skills that inundate us with ads saying that we need newer, shinier, faster, and nicer things than what others have. Yet all it really does is leave us empty just wanting more. We later discover that we’ve discarded the greater gifts for lesser ones.

For instance, isn’t it ironic that people are willing to stand in line the night before at the store to buy the latest video game? Yet, we are impatient to wait a couple minutes for a loved one. Or we will spend two hours downloading into an iPod, but grumble because we are unwilling to give eighteen minutes to allow God to download His truths into our hearts during a twenty minute sermon.

Often, we don’t realize that our family is a great gift until they’re gone. Great are the gifts of our spouse, health, church, faith, kids, friends, second chances, skills, and home. Yet, we often trade those greater gifts for lesser ones and call it Christmas. Our greatest gifts are not the ones we hope to receive. Rather, they’re the ones we’ve already received. And if we’re not careful, we’ll quickly discard them for lesser ones.

I guess we’re raised in a society where intangible things like health and family are taken for granted. And we foolishly take for granted and believe they’ll always be around without any maintenance, commitments, or help from us.

So this Christmas I pray and hope you will appreciate and treasure the gifts you’ve been given. They may be the ones that have been ignored for far too long. This is what Christmas is about! Here is the greatest gift from God, “For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life”. (Jn.3:16)

Christmas to God is all about relationships. So much so that Jesus Christ, His Son came and shed His blood for you and me. It was through Him that our relationship with God was repaired. This is the gift God has given to all mankind. All in all, Christmas is having a relationship with God first and then recognizing the relationships we have with others, for these are gifts which we already have and we must treasure them!

Grace, Hope, and Joy!

Ed Bailey, Pastor

To show our appreciation the Church Council has once again decided to continue the “We Appreciate Your Heartfelt Ministry” offering for Pastor Bailey. This gives the congregation an opportunity to thank Pastor Ed with a Christmas bonus. A collection box has been placed in the Narthex along with some envelopes for your convenience. All monies collected will be given to Pastor Ed on Sunday, December 16th, just in time for Christmas.

THERE IS STILL TIME TO ORDER YOUR POINSETTIAS!

The order will be placed through Emerick’s Greenhouse and the cost is $7.00 each. The flowers will come in 6-1/2 inch pots and you have a choice of red, white or pink. There is an order form in the narthex for your convenience. All orders must be placed by December 9th.

Congratulations to Owen Charles Lubic as we welcome him into our church family. He was baptized on November 25, 2007. Owen is the son of John and Samantha Lubic.

It’s time again to start thinking about White Gifts. This year your gifts will be sent to the Women’s Shelter. All Gifts will be collected and placed under the tree on December 2nd, during the Hanging of the Greens Service.

We would like to express our thanks for the cards and condolences we received following the death of our daughter, Lisa Priano. Thank you, to Pastor Bailey for his hospital visits to Lisa and for his calls and visits to Marilyn during her recent illness. The prayers and support of everyone has been comforting at this difficult time.

~Alex, Marilyn & Greg Kouvolo

We would like to thank all those who helped on Sunday, November 18th with picking up and unloading the 3 truck loads of food from Our Lady of Peace. It is unbelievable that we were able to unpack and shelve all the food in that short amount of time! You are all awesome!

~ Don & Linda Fleming

During the season of Advent we will have special bulletin covers for worship. If you would like to dedicate a bulletin cover in memory of a loved one, please contact the church office. A donation of $18.50 is requested for each Sunday’s bulletin.

The United Methodist Women are selling RADA Cutlery. The first order will be sent on November 30th, in time for Christmas delivery. See any UMW member to place your order. These are the silver handled knives that are so popular.

News from the We Care Food Pantry

“There was not a needy person among them,…distribution was made to each as any had need.” ~ Acts 4:34, 35

We extend a big “Thank You” to our church family for our harvest bags and monetary donations.

In November we received food from Our Lady of Peace Catholic Church, a monetary donation from St. Vladimirs Church and food and monetary donations from St. John Catholic Church in Baden.

The Endowment gifted us a generous amount of money to help get us through the holidays.

We are always blessed and amazed at the generosity of our Christian brothers and sisters. We will be setting up the Feed a Family Tree in the Narthex. If you wish to donate, please use the envelope from the tree and place it in the basket beside the tree.

With your continued support, our families will have a joyous holiday.

In Christ,

Don & Linda Fleming

Sunday School News:

Our classes are finishing the last few weeks of the fall “Hands On Bible” series, and will be moving into the winter session the first Sunday in December. We would like to thank all of our students for bringing in snacks for the children of the “We Care” food pantry. Your generosity is deeply appreciated by all the children who will receive your snacks this month at the food shopping night.

We would like to welcome back Dave & Danna Smith to our Sunday School teaching staff, as they take over for Miss Marcia in the PreK-Kindergarten class while she is on leave. Dave and Danna has been a valuable asset to our substitute teachers, and now that they are becoming permanent teachers, we are looking for anyone who would like to be added to our Sunday school substitute list. If you are interested please contact Miss Linda so that we can check your clearances, and if needed request them.

Our Thanks to all of our Sunday school teachers and assistants for the wonderful and FUN lessons they prepare for us each week. Come, and join us!

Luminaries for Christmas Eve:

Miss Paula’s & Miss Linda’s Jr. Sr. High Sunday School Class will be “Lighting the Way” with luminaries on Christmas Eve for the 6:00pm and 11:00pm worship services. If you would like to light a luminary in honor or memory of a loved one, a donation of $3.00 is requested for each name submitted. The names of loved ones will be written on each luminary. All proceeds will go towards our current fund for our heating fuel this winter. Last year the heating cost for January, February and March was $6,800.00, and the price is expected to increase significantly this year. You can place your donations and names in the envelopes that are provided in the church foyer, and drop them into the box marked “Light the Way”.

Bible Sunday:

The tradition of passing on Bibles as a gift from the congregation to our third grade Sunday School Class continued with the presentation of a “Hands On Bible” to Isaac Jones and Mitchell Jones on Sunday November 18th designated as “Bible Sunday” by the United Methodist Church. The bibles were presented by Pastor Bailey during our 10:30 worship service.

Yeck’s Farm and hayride Fun:

It was a beautiful fall afternoon, a little on the windy side, but we sure had a lot of fun at the Yeck’s farm hayride and bonfire family event. Our Sunday School Staff would like to thank all those who braved the cool air to come and have a chance to run through the corn maze with Mr. Smith, or enjoy the fire with Joyce, Carol, Donna, John, Paula, Amy, and Alan. We especially want to thank all of those who provided the great goodies to go along with our hotdogs cooked over the fire. I think the favorite of the afternoon was Mrs. Smith’s cheese dip! As the sun was beginning to set we were leaving the farm for yet another fun filled day with our family and friends.

Kidz Club:

Our Kidz Club will meet on Dec.6th from 6:00-7:30 in Fellowship Hall. We had so much fun last month decorating our cookies.

We would like to thank Miss Christine, Miss Phyllis, Miss Carol (nana), and Miss Leah, for helping us
