NORTH AMERICAN BAPTIST CONFERENCE WEEKLY UPDATE DECEMBER 19, 2011

Merry Christmas from Rob McCleland and your NAB Team!

Hopefully you already received our Christmas card. If not, you can view it here. Christmastime is much warmer in California than it was in Chicago. I do miss the Christmas lights twinkling and reflecting off the snow, but I don’t miss scraping the ice off the car before heading home each day.

Here is a Christmas surprise idea for your kids—if you have signed up for Triennial, you can wrap a picture of Orlando, Walt Disney World, or Epcot Center. When they open it, tell them, “We are going to Disney World in July!” We have two excellent short videos for you to watch and download for your church. Click here to watch them now or for download instructions.

If you or your church is able to make a year-end gift, it is much needed and will be much appreciated! Did you know that we approved two new missionaries earlier this month?! Please include an investment in the NAB as part of your year-end giving.

Year-end is a time to reflect on the past year and look forward to a brighter tomorrow. I want to be better for Jesus Christ next year—and I have the opportunity to do something about it. I don’t make New Year’s resolutions, but if I did, being totally dependent on God for all of His strength to do all of His work—that would be at the top of my list.

We look forward to bringing you updates in the coming year twice a month.

Have a very merry Christmas, celebrate the birth of our Savior, and let me know if we can serve you this year or next.

Christmas blessings,
