Turn your Christmas upside down this year and do the season differently…Join the Conspiracy…First Worship Fully

I am sorry this is coming a little later. I appreciate all the caring and compassion through hugs, calls, texts, messages, and emails shown to me during one of the hardest weeks of my life. It is hard to believe that a week ago as I was writing this my dad was recovering and we thought he would make it. Don’t take any moments for granted you may not have them.

In case you didn’t see his full obituary you can view it here. I hope you can join us next Saturday, December 7 if possible but wherever you are to be praying with us during the 11 am Celebration of Life. Memorials in lieu of flowers ( my mother is allergic to most of them) can be given to Good Shepherd in my dad Jerry Squire’s name. I plan to do something here to remember him.

And I am thankful for the 20 plus who came out today to Deck the Halls and the amazing crew of Nisla & Jerry Brothers and Sandi Rummage who spent both Thanksgiving Day and Friday getting a good portion of things done for us. And to the H & H boys (Al & Ted) for setting up the tree and bringing everything down. 

This we start our Advent Conspiracy. Advent Conspiracy was founded on the radical idea that we can celebrate Christmas humbly, beautifully, and generously. Advent is the story of a wondrous moment when God entered our world to make things right. It is the greatest story ever told and it changes everything—including the way we celebrate Christmas.

Be a part of a different story this Christmas, one that celebrates our King and bring hope to a watching world. I want you to conspire with me to turn Christmas upside down this year and do this season differently. How that might look for your life is up to you. But we’re going to give you some ideas in the next 4 weeks.

We will conspire together to Worship Fully, Spend Less, Give More, Love All. First, we will Worship Fully. Nearly every character in the Christmas story that encountered our King responded in the same way: worship. Let’s make the conscious effort to reorient our hearts toward Christ. Christmas began with worship, may it end with worship. Join us for Advent Conspiracy: Worship Fully.

P.S. Continue to keep Lester in your prayers. Kidneys are improving but slowly. Didn’t stay away for the UT Game 🙂 They are asking for no visitors for now.
