Good News
Reverend Steve Good
I have a shameful Christmas memory. Like many other young
children, I had been anticipating Christmas morning for many
weeks. I had carefully researched and articulated my wish list
for presents. I could imagine tearing open enough gifts to
create a small mountain of ripped wrapping paper. After going
to Christmas Eve worship, my parents had tucked my sister and
I into our beds, although sleep didn’t come easily. Finally the
next morning, once our parents were up, we raced into the
living room to find our long awaited Christmas presents.
Maybe it was the lack of sleep. Maybe it was coming off the
sugar-high from all the holiday treats I had been eating. And
maybe I was just plain greedy. For whatever reason, after all
the presents were opened, I panicked when I realized it was
over. That was all I was getting. But my pile of loot just
didn’t seem big enough, and I had a Christmas breakdown. As
the tears flowed, my parents tried to console/understand me.
All I knew was that there should have been more presents

December 23 // 9am only
under the tree with the name “Steve” on the tag.
Join us December 23 at 9:00am for
CUMC’s Christmas Cantata which will be
geared around the children this year with the
help of the adult choir. “The First
Christmas” is a family friendly version of
our Saviors birth. There will be fun tunes
with some familiar carols to make it an
enjoyable experience.
The fact is, I got plenty of presents, but there was
no way they could match my expectations builtup from television commercials, magazine ads,
and store window displays where I left smudge
marks from my face.
Author Mike Slaughter notes that many
Christians celebrate Christmas like it’s their
birthday, not Jesus’.
“Christmas has been
hijacked and exploited . . . we celebrate Jesus’
birth with an orgy of materialism.” In our
church’s Advent study, he goes on to say that
“we’ve all grown up with a distorted,
acculturated picture of a feel-good Santa Claus
Jesus, which has insulated us from God’s heart
concerning injustice and suffering in the world.”
I hope to see you all there as we tell you the
story of Jesus’ birth thru the eyes of the
children this Christmas.
Also, we are looking for singers, speakers,
etc of all ages. If you are interested please
contact Brittany Alcantar at
[email protected].
Please note there will not be a 10:30am
service.
The point is, Christmas is the birthday of Christ,
so let’s celebrate all of what Jesus stands for: the
ultimate expression of God’s extreme love for
us. Divinity squeezed into human flesh to
experience the same joys, temptations, and
sufferings that we do. A savior from on high
who was born in lowly circumstances. A child
born in a manger, who grew up confronting
injustice and indifference, and who was killed on
a cross for his troubles.
Christmas Eve
Worship Schedule
All are warmly invited to join us to celebrate
the birth of Christ on Monday, December
24th at Channahon UMC. All services will

with simple joy, leaving the materialistic
excesses of the season to find another home, for
in so doing, we will rediscover whose birthday it
is after all.

in their spiritual journey. Thank
you to Financial Secretary
Vickie Breen for her report, and

Celebrating Christmas
“A Different Kind of Christmas”
Living & Giving Like Jesus
Witness Team wants to invite you to
participate in the magic and
memorable time that is Christmas.
During Advent there is waiting and
high anticipation of the birth of
Christ. We will have celebrating not
only the Sunday before Christmas
with the children and choir but on
Christmas Eve as well.
An Adult Advent Experience
Plan on attending any one of three
Christmas Eve services that will be
offered on Dec. 24 (See article on
page 2). Each one will have a
candlelight service. All three services
will be family friendly. In addition
consider asking a friend or neighbor
to join you. Christmas is often a time
when folks will say yes even if
they've said no in the past. Be excited
for Christmas and mark your
calendar. Come and enjoy what can
be life changing. After all it's the
very reason Jesus came to earth in the
first place.
Cost: $12 to cover the cost of your book. Time together will
include prayer, bible study, a video presentation, and group
discussion.
It’s not too late to be a part of an Adult Advent experience
based on Michael Slaughter’s book: Christmas Is Not Your
Birthday.
“This study will empower your family and your church to
reclaim the broader missional meaning of Jesus’ birth and
experience a Christmas season with more peace and joy than
any toy or gadget could ever bring.”
It is not too late to attend if you would like to join in on one of
the studies.

Kidz
Club
We have finished our study on the Creation Story, and explored it in many
wonderful ways which helped us learn the awesomeness of God. (Maybe you
saw some of our work on the wall outside of the choir room.) The nickels the
kids collected throughout the study were donated to Feed My Starving
Children.
We have begun our study of Isaiah, a prophet from the Old Testament who told
the people of Israel about the coming of a Messiah. This study teaches about
hope & God’s kept promises.
Our group is open to all 1st -5th graders.
Wednesday nights from 6-7:30pm.
We hope you can join us on

Wednesday Night Youth
After Thanksgiving we will be meeting
from 6-8:00pm. In the past year, we
have gone from two small groups of
about 8-10 Youth & two adult
volunteers into a large group of 20+
Youth & 5+ volunteers. How great is
that!!! However, in the process we have
lost that small group atmosphere. By
extending our meeting time, it is our
hope that we can spend some of the time
as a large group & some in smaller
groups to once again create that small
group atmosphere.
Madison Leatherwood has joined as
another leader. Madison is a senior at
Minooka High School and is very
excited to be involved with the Youth
and we are very blessed to have her.

Jonestown Habitat for
Humanity Mission Trip
Youth News:
There’s Something about Mary
March 24-30, 2013
In the sixth month of Elizabeth’s
pregnancy, God sent the angel Gabriel to
Nazareth, a village in Galilee, to a virgin
named Mary. She was engaged to be
married to a man named Joseph, a
descendant of King David. Gabriel
appeared to her and said, “Greetings,
favored woman! The Lord is with you!”
Each of the last few years, CUMC has sent a group of
people to Jonestown, Mississippi to help build a house
with the local Habitat for Humanity chapter. It is a week
of learning, sharing, and growing.
Jonestown is a small town about 70 miles southwest of
Memphis, TN. In 1999, the median family income for a
Jonestown family was $18,958.
Our trip is timed to coincide with Minooka Community
High School’s spring break. We will leave early on
Sunday, March 24th and return on the evening of
Saturday, March 30th.
Confused and disturbed, Mary tried to
think what the angel could mean. “Don’t
be afraid, Mary,” the angel told her, “for
you have found favor with God! You will
conceive and give birth to a son, and you
will name him Jesus. He will be very great
and will be called the Son of the Most
High. The Lord God will give him the
throne of his ancestor David. And he will
reign over Israel forever; his Kingdom
will never end!”
So far 6 people have filled out a short information form.
Several other have expressed an interest in going.
The next Jonestown Mission trip meeting will be
January 6th at 11:30 am. By the January meeting, the
church will have determined how much each adult and
youth going on the mission trip will be subsidized
(approximately $150.) The $50 deposit will be due. The
total cost of the trip is estimated to be $300 – $350.
Addition money may be available for financial hardship
cases.
Mary asked the angel, “But how can this
happen? I have never slept with a man.”
The angel replied, “The Holy Spirit will
come upon you, and the power of the Most
High will overshadow you. So the baby to
be born will be holy, and he will be called
the Son of God. What’s more, your
relative Elizabeth has become pregnant in
her old age! People used to say she was
barren, but she has conceived a son and is
now in her sixth month. For nothing is
impossible with God.”
A 2nd meeting will be February 17 at 11:30am. One of
the topics will be food. How many meals will we cook,
and who is bringing what?
A 3rd meeting will be March 3rd. Habitat for Humanity
waivers and medical forms will need to be filled out at
this time.
Nationally, Habitat for Humanity has adopted new safety
rules which require anyone on the construction site to be
at least 16 years old. Although youth younger than 16
can go on the trip, they will work on alternate projects at
another site which may make logistics difficult.
Mary responded, “I am the Lord’s
servant. May everything you have said
about me come true.” And then the angel

Thank You…
Youth News …
 I would like to thank the Channahon Methodist
Church, for the most appreciated gift – the Prayer
Blanket. It is a warm, cuddly companion, a smile
producer, and best of all a giver of encouragement
and hope. Thank you so much for thinking of me!
With most sincere thanks.
Sandi Kalchbrenner (Kris Mondrella’s mother)
left her. Luke 1:26-38, CEV
I can’t imagine what Mary must have felt
when Gabriel told her she would be the mother
of Jesus. Mary found herself in circumstances
she could not explain. The social implications
of her pregnancy were overwhelming! Part of
me likes to think that Mary didn’t accept
Gabriel’s message as easily as Luke makes it
sound. She probably freaked out a little. I
imagine she may have argued with Gabriel.
She may have shouted, “God, how could you
do this to me!?”
 Thanks for the prayers, cards, & visits after my foot
surgery. Thanks for Joan Waller who watched over
Regan during the Turkey Supper. I am so blessed to
be part of a loving & caring church.
Mary Caher
People often describe Mary as being onedimensional – she is quiet, meek, and
submissive. However, I think she is a powerful
character who gives us a great example. One
thing that strikes me about Mary is the way she
responded to this shocking news after she
realized it really was going to happen. Mary
chose to glorify God for the gift of her child. I
like to think Mary’s serene response to Gabriel
indicate deep strength, rather than simple
submission. Mary’s finally responded with
grace, determination and joy.
 Thanks to Pastor Steve for his visits during Sonny’s
surgery, and the wonderful friends at CUMC for all
the prayers & visits.
Sharon Hedgren
 Thank you for your prayers & good wishes while we
were sick at my house. Thank you, also, for those
who filled in for me in worship & Sunday school. It
truly is a joy to be part of such a caring
congregation.
Roger Beitzel
Mary’s response is a powerful example of
faith. Often, like Mary, we find ourselves in
circumstances we did not choose – and really
don’t like. How we choose to react to difficult
situations can give a powerful witness to the
world.
 Thank you to everyone in my church family for
being so supportive of me through my recent health
issue. Praise God that all is well and tests all came
back clear.
Bonnie Babich
An attitude of grace, determination and joy in
the face of difficulty does not come easily — it
comes from unwavering faith in God, and it
must be practiced.
 Praise the Lord for a successful surgery – all the
great friends at CUMC that sent prayers, cards, calls,
visits & treats & for WONDERFUL FRIENDS!
Mary is also gives us a great example of
patience. Advent is a time of waiting as we
prepare ourselves to once more receive the
Christ-child in our midst. Mary, perhaps more
than anyone, knows what it means to wait. She
spent nine months anticipating the birth of
Jesus. Like Mary, we wait for clear
understanding in our difficult situations and
anticipate the hope and joy that Jesus brings to
our lives.
Sonny Hedgren
Did You Know…
 the Scouts have done an amazing job with the
"Scouting for Food" campaign? They distributed
grocery bags one week and came back to collect
them the following week. Thank you for taking care
of those in need.
Peace to you as you wait,
Roger
