We are so thankful for those that shared the birth, life, death and resurrection of our Savior, Lord and King, Jesus Christ at the Sedro Woolley Christmas parade on Saturday, Dec. 4^th. Truly the parade itself was a gift from God that was poured out to everyone in Sedro Woolley and the surrounding communities. Even though many had not met each other, these believers were prompted to forsake everything else they could have done and come together as the body of Christ for the parade. Our fellowship in preparing for the parade and our continuing fellowship with one another is our gift to God. We pray that the truth of the gospel and the love of the Father sparked a yearning in the hearts of every parade participant, spectator, judge and all those that helped organize this community event. This was a gift from God to each of them. Their acceptance of God’s forgiveness purchased through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ’s sinless body is their gift to God.

We are praying that the truth of the gospel and the love of the Father would shine into the hearts of everyone that attends and that many will respond to the prompting of the Holy Spirit as He speaks to all that will listen.

We know the Holy Spirit prompted these believers to come together for this purpose and as we journey together through this Christmas season we will do it in recognition of our first love, Jesus Christ.

There are many distractions in the world, but Jesus is the way, the truth and the life and no one comes to the Father except through Him.

For anyone that participated or has been moved in anyway by this experience, the Lord has opened a time of sharing at the Garden of Eden Fellowship at 14799 Avon Allen Rd in west Mt. Vernon on Sunday, Dec 5^th at 3pm.

We are having a turkey and ham potluck and we know the Lord will be present to bless our fellowship. We are challenging those that attend to share how the Holy Spirit is leading them to fulfill the desire of our Lord when He has asked us to,

“Deny yourself, pick up your cross daily and follow Me.”

We know that God wants us to encourage one another as we shine that light through the remainder of the Christmas season, into the new year and forever.

For information call 360-421-8811 or 360-421-8812. What God puts together, let no one separate.

We are blessed to witness the coming together of the Body of Christ here in our own community.

Jesus said when He is lifted up from the earth, all people will be drawn to Him.

We are thankful that local believers from many different church families, para-ministries and even many more that have separated themselves apart so they can be sure they are hearing the uncompromised word of God as given to us by Jesus Himself through the Holy Spirit.  

We will be together representing the birth, life, death and resurrection of our Savior, Lord, King Jesus Christ who chooses to call us His Friends as we acknowledge His Name in the Sedro Woolley Christmas parade, Saturday, Dec 4^th,  in downtown Sedro Woolley.

Those that desire to honor God in this way are gathering at the Harvest Home, 9467 Pierce Lane in Sedro Woolley during the day. Fellowship, a cup of coffee, prayer, testimonies and allowing the Holy Spirit to show us our part. Need a costume? Olivia, our ministry coordinator in Mexico, has came with her gift of sewing to bless our community.

You are welcome!
