November and December are months of gratitude, thankfulness, and celebration. With the holidays of Veterans’ Day, Thanksgiving, Advent, and Christmas, we have the opportunity to thank important people in our lives and celebrate Jesus:

We can express our gratitude to veterans and those who have served our country in the military on Veterans’ Day, November 11. We can be thankful for our many blessings as Americans and Christians on Thanksgiving, November 27.

We can celebrate Advent and the First Coming of Jesus Christ in Bethlehem while we wait with hope and expectation for His Second Coming to the earth. Beginning November 30 and through December 21, the Advent focus is Hope, Peace, Joy, and Love.

(NOTE: We have prepared several Advent video series to bless you, your church, your family, and your friends. These can be found on our YouTube Channel: youtube.com/@NewHorizonsMinistriesIPHC. You may post these to your Facebook page, share them in an email, or show them in your church.)

Finally, Christmas, December 25, culminates the holiday season as we celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. With special services, family times together, carol singing, parades, and programs, we join with Christians around the globe to proclaim, “Joy To The World,” “Silent Night,” and “O Come, All Ye Faithful.”

Happy Thanksgiving! Merry Christmas! Blessed New Year!
