Hello Saddleback Church Laguna Woods,
I decided to send out my weekly email update early this week. That is because Thursday is the last day to buy tickets for our Christmas Dinner and Concert on December 18. You will have your choice of salmon, brisket (my favorite), or apricot chicken. Then, we have an amazing concert of Christmas music by numerous of Saddleback Church’s best singers. It is kind of like a dinner theater with a holiday flavor. We will dress up and have a wonderful evening. All for only $20. Call Vicki at 949-609-8574 to charge your tickets.
Wasn’t Sunday wonderful? I loved it and so many people, both new friends and regular members, told me that our Open House was what Christmas should always be like. Everyone felt loved and had a great time of food, fun, and fellowship. If you were not able to come, you missed a good time.
But more good times are coming. Our worship service this week has Rick Warren preaching and that is always great. Then, the concert/dinner that evening. So, Sunday in Clubhouse 5 at 10am will be the place to be!
The following week will feature our Christmas Eve candlelighting service on Saturday, Dec. 24 at 5pm. That may be our best service of the year. Then, Christmas Day at 10am, we are having a different, casual type of worship service and I have the honor of preaching live. I hope to see you at both services and remember to invite your family and friends.
My heartfelt thanks to all who served so faithfully at the Open House. You did a great job!
