An experiment that you are needed for!

Have you ever wanted to have a say in what is being preached on any given Sunday? Well, although it is somewhat limited, here is your chance! This year, I'd like to try an experiment. I'd like you as the listener or friend to have a say in what I will cover. I have blocked off 3 Sundays for Christmas themed messages this year, Sunday December 7, Sunday December 14 and Sunday December 21st. What I have devised for you is a list of possible questions that I am willing to tackle this year. What I am asking is that you as a listener pick the top 3 questions that peak your interest and respond in one of four ways. 1) 

Vote using the box underneath my picture. 2) Click on the comments button at the bottom of this post and list your three questions. 2) Email me your list to trevorrysavy@shaw.ca or 3) Fill in the card you find in your bulletin on Sunday November 30th and drop it in the offering plates at the back of the sanctuary. Tuesday December 2nd will be the last day to give input and after that the 3 questions with the most votes will be tackled over the next three Sundays. If there is a question that is not on the list, feel free to write it out. There's no question that is too silly, so feel free to write out whatever is on your mind. I hope to hear from as many of you as possible! Here is the list of questions.

1) Does Mary's virginity really matter?

2) Why are the other characters in the Christmas story important to us?

3) Why is it important that the Scriptures be fulfilled in the Christmas story?

4) What historically was going on at the time of Jesus' birth?

5) What does it really mean that God became flesh in Jesus Christ?

6) What is Joseph's role in the Christmas story and what does it matter?

7) What was the spiritual temperature of Israel at the time of the birth of the Messiah?

8) Why is the story of the wise men such a big part of the Christmas story?

9) Fill in the blank.

Looking forward to it,

Trev
