December 30, 2018 - THE SIXTH DAY OF CHRISTMAS

Day 364 - (Today’s Bible readings: Judges 9:22-33, Psalm 149; Acts 14:19-28)

THE SONG

♬ On the sixth day of Christmas
my true love sent to me:
Six Geese a Laying (Six days of Creation)
Five Golden Rings (The Pentateuch... first 5 books of the Bible)
Four Calling Birds (The 4 Gospels... Matthew, Mark, Luke and John)
Three French Hens (The Holy Trinity... Father, Son and Holy Spirit)
Two Turtle Doves (The Old and New Testaments)
and a Partridge in a Pear Tree. (JESUS)

Why Six Geese a-laying on the Sixth Day of Christmas? Six Geese a-Laying represent the six days of creation: “In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.” (Genesis 1:1)

Thank You, heavenly Father, for creating the world and all that is in it. Thank You even more for making it possible to live with You forever in heaven because Jesus, You Son and our Lord. Amen.

“See” you at the Communion rail this morning.

NOTE: Why don’t you make plans to attend Communion this morning and/or tomorrow evening (New Year’s Eve). How good and proper it is to end the old year confessing our sins and receiving God’s priceless gift of forgiveness. If you don't have a church home, you can join us at St. Paul’s in Brown Deer at 9 am this morning and 6 pm tomorrow evening.
