Our experiences with you in 2009 have been wonderful, amazing, and often full of the presence of the Holy Spirit. I have treasured this time with you and look forward to the year to come.
These few weeks that we are not gathering are bittersweet. I miss you all. You are part of the Roots family and I have much love for you. But time away allows thought and inspiration, and an excitement for things to come in 2010.
What will we do? Where will wo go? Who will we help? As of yet, we just don't know. One thing is certain, we will continue to do the best we can to live as Jesus teaches us, and to follow wherever God leads us, wherever that takes us, and no matter what He asks of us.
I hope you have an amazing CHRISTmas of worship, love, and time with family and friends. Remember that Jesus is truly the reason for this season (not just a catchy phrase); and ponder what an amazing gift that God gave us. I pray in advance that your hopes and goals of 2010 will all be realized and that your year will be filled with good health, family and friendship, and the wonder of God.
Much love,
-Jeff

As luck would have it, Christmas Eve and New Years Eve are on Thursdays this year. We will gather again beginning Thursday, January 7th, and look forward to seeing you all. As you gather in worship and celebration with your family and friends, be sure to tell them about The Roots, we would love to see many more seats filled in 2010.
