Are you feeling the Christmas spirit yet?  It appears that everywhere we turn, everyone is preparing for the Christmas holiday with lights and decorations.  It really is a beautiful time of year, especially in paradise!  But as we approach this special holiday, let us remember what Christmas is Truly about...Christ.  Don't forget to invite your friends, family, and neighbors to our Christmas Eve Candle Light Service.  This is the perfect way to place our focus on the True Meaning of Christmas.

Defying Gravity

Theme: Creating a church for the unchurched is what the church was always intended to do.  Unfortunately, we are married to a designed-by-Christians-for-Christians-only culture.  Consequently and perhaps unwittingly, are we making our church uninviting and unnecessarily hard for unchurched people to "believe God?"

Scripture: Acts 15:28-29

Next Week's Worship Message: Special Worship performance by the students and faculty of Naples Adventist Christian School.  Don't miss this special holiday event provided by our children!
Stewardship Thoughts
Church Budget

How do you define success?  Some might say, living a comfortable life is being successful.  Others might suggest that true success is having the means and abilities to purchase anything they wanted.  Some may define success by having a certain degree, a certain job or career, living on a certain street, or driving a certain type of car, or all the above.  Or another might suggest that true success is having the ability to be happy with what you have.
In Philippians 4:12, Paul shares his secret to success, "I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty.  I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want."
Imagine what could happen if we would practice contentment, the principle of true success.  Imagine, if instead of having-to-have-it, we gave to the advancement of God's Kingdom. Our offering today will support the ministry of our local church.  May God grant us all true success today.
Philippines Disaster Relief
You Can Help Today!

Adventists are givers at heart, and we all want to help those overwhelmed by super-storm Typhoon Haiyan that left the Philippine people devastated.
You can donate a number of ways through the Seventh-day Adventist church.  Visit www.NADAdventist.org for more information.

You can also make donations through the ACTS World Relief.  Some of our own church members have done volunteer trips to areas devastated from natural disasters, and relief teams are being orders today!  Contact Michelle Crombie at michelle@actswr.org today for find out how you can help.
Fellowship Potluck Dinner is Today!
Join us after the Worship Service

The December fellowship potluck dinner will be held today in Room 1 after the worship service.  Please bring a vegetarian entree, salad, or dessert with enough to share with visitors.  We encourage you to stay for the dinner and get to know your brothers and sisters in Christ.
Save the Date! Christmas Eve Candle Light Service
The True Meaning of Christmas

Mark your calendars today, and invite your fiends and family to join us in our special Christmas Even Candle Light Service, December 24th @ 7:00pm.  This is always such a great way to return our focus to the true meaning of Christmas.
