R^vere^to! ^oroloi/v Crfli/vch Here we are at the lead up to Christmas. In the Christian Church this is the season of Advent. In terms of children, it is the eternity that lays between them and the opening of gifts piled high under the tree. But there is that little clause put in by Santa Claus - he knows who has been naughty or nice. Imagine having to be nice to your brother/sister for a whole month! The other 11 months apparently didn't count. Most of us, I am afraid, deserve the lump of coal treatment. Sprinkled throughout the Bible are many lists of things to do and things not to do. But for those of us that often come up a bit short, we should refer to St Paul's letter to Timothy. His main instruction is, "Do your best." When it comes right down to is, that is all we can do. We can strive to be more Christian, better Christians, more like Christ - just better people - but all we can do is our best. It seems that some are better at doing their best than we are. St Francis was probably the closest to best that this world can produce and the rest of us struggle with the burden of striving for goodness. At Christmas, it is even more of challenge to 'do your best.' There are so many temptations in our world. But I don't think that anywhere is it written that life is meant to be easy. Our choices get wider and wider and the chances of choosing correctly each and ever time are slim. But the goal isn't to achieve, but to attempt. ♦ So at this festive and joyous time don't set yourself up for failure, just do your best. And if you are sincere in this effort, then that is enough. God is nothing if not forgiving. December Services: Sunday, 8th - 9:00 am Sunday, 22nd-9:00 am Christmas Eve, Sunday 24th - 5:00 pm see you. u/v C-huroh! Dec 2019 Milo Library CHINOOK A P P I- 1 r \ I I UBWABY SYSTEM This month’s book club read is “The Dreamers” by Ka­ren Thompson Walker. “In an iso­lated college town in the hills of Southern Califor­nia, a freshman girl stumbles into her dorm room, falls asleep—and doesn’t wake up. She sleeps through the morning, into the evening. Her roommate, Mei, cannot rouse her. Neither can the paramedics who carry her away, nor the perplexed doctors at the hos­pital. Then a sec­ond girl falls asleep, and then another, and panic takes hold of the college and spreads to the town. “ The next meeting is ‘to be deter­mined’ in January. by Talia Carner, The Midnight Witness by Sara Blaedel, An Easy Death by Charlaine Har­ris, The Fall of Gondolin by Book Recommendations 2019 Holiday Hours I from Book Club members: If She Wakes by Michael Koryta The Library will be closed: Tuesday Dec. 24 Thursday Dec 26 Tuesday Jan. 1 One Good Deed by David Baldacci The Giver of Stars by Jojo Moyes ADULT FICTION The Night Fire by Michael Connelly, The German Midwife by Man­dy Robotham, The Winemaker’s Wife by Kristin Harm el, The Dark Side by Dan­ielle Steel, Bachelor Girl by Kim Van Alkemade, Blue Moon by Lee Child, The Third Daughter JRR Tolkien, Twisted Twen­ty- Six by Janet Evanovich, Sword of Kings by Ber­nard Cornwell, DVD’s & Blu-Ray The Lion King, Mrs. Brown’s Boys Christmas Surprises, X-men Dark Kiss the Girls and Make Them Cry by Mary Higgins Clark ADULT NON-FICTION JUNIOR DVD’s: Tales of a Catskinner: A Per­sonal Account of Building the Alaska Highway, The Winter Trail and Canol Pipeline Road 1942-43 by Chester L.
