James and Rachel Schrader sent this along regarding the great gathering they lead for middle and high school students on Sunday mornings. They kick off the semester THIS SUNDAY, January 12, at 9:00AM:
This semester we are going to be studying John 1-10 in youth Sunday School. We are excited about the opportunity to learn from what Jesus said and did through the eyewitness account of John. Jesus uses everyday items and events to reveal and explain spiritual truths. Each lesson will be a neat time of reading, teaching, and discussing topics such as “How is Jesus the Light of the world?,” “Why are Jesus’ words about eternal life confusing to many people?,” “Who was the ‘Wild Man’?,” and how to relate faith to everyday life.

A prayer from The Valley of Vision. . . ponder it and may it bless you as you celebrate the birth of the Savior. .
O Source of all Good,
What shall I render to Thee for the gift of gifts,
Thine own dear Son, begotten, not created,
my Redeemer, Proxy, Surety, Substitute,
His self-emptying incomprehensible,
His infinity of love beyond the heart’s grasp.
Herein is wonder of wonders:
He came below to raise me above,
He was born like me that I might become like Him.
Herein is love;
when I cannot rise to Him He draws near on wings of grace,
to raise me to Himself.
Herein is power;
when Deity and humanity were infinitely apart
He united them in indissoluble unity, the uncreated and the created.
Herein is wisdom;
when I was undone, with no will to return to Him,
and no intellect to devise recovery,
He came, God-incarnate, to save me to the uttermost,
as man to die my death,
to shed satisfying blood on my behalf,
to work out a perfect righteousness for me.
O God, take me in spirit to the watchful shepherds,
and enlarge my mind;
let me hear good tidings of great joy,
and hearing, believe, rejoice, praise, adore,
my conscience bathed in an ocean of repose,
my eyes uplifted to a reconciled Father,
place me with ox, ass, camel, goat,
to look with them upon my Redeemer’s face,
and in Him account myself delivered from sin;
let me with Simeon clasp the new-born Child to my heart,
embrace Him with undying faith,
exulting that He is mine and I am His.
In Him Thou hast given me so much that heaven can give no more.
