“Somehow, not only for Christmas
But all the long year through
The joy that you give to others
Is the joy that comes back to you
And the more you spend in blessing
The poor and lonely and sad
The more of your heart's possessing
Returns to you glad”
John Greenleaf Whittier

In January, 2012, we will be starting a renovation of the kitchen and laundry area plumbing. It is the next step we need to take now that the kitchen and pantry have been renovated. The project should not take longer than a week and will add significantly to the home. The normal day-to-day operation of the home will not be effected. We will post pictures on the website upon completion.

"From home to home, and heart to heart, from one place to another, the warmth and joy of Christmas brings us closer to each other.” Emily Matthews
Christmas Eve at Casa Hogar para Ninos Esperanza was wonderful, a genuine recharge for the soul’s batteries. You were represented by Cherilyn, Henry, TJ and Tom. Haven and her family were also there to help out and enjoy the fellowship. The children were a delight to watch and be with and all faces were filled with joy and appreciation. Our group arrived around 8:00 PM to place their presents around the tree and wait for our children to return from church. Before the children’s Christmas celebration we all gathered around tables to enjoy their traditional Christmas Eve feast. We cannot think of a better way to celebrate the eve of the greatest day in the history of our world. If you did not make it, why not join us next year?
“Christmas Eve was a night of song that wrapped itself about you like a shawl. But it warmed more than your body. It warmed your heart… filled it, too, with a melody that would last forever.” Bess Streeter Aldrich
Heartfelt thanks go out to all of our glorious Mission Partners that helped make this the best Christmas and best year ever for our children. Words absolutely cannot express our appreciation for your generosity and continued support. You are the light of Christ.
“A joy that is shared is a joy made double.” John Roy
The Webster Dictionary defines a missionary as “someone on a mission - especially a religious or charitable mission to a foreign country”. You may not consider yourself a missionary, but you are. Through your teaching, actions and love, you are showing the children of Casa Hogar para Ninos Esperanza the life changing power of Jesus Christ. God Bless You!
“I am not alone at all, I thought. I was never alone at all. And that, of course, is the message of Christmas. We are never alone. Not when the night is darkest, the wind coldest, the word seemingly most indifferent. For this is still the time God chooses.” Taylor Caldwell
Our Christmas Day Community of Faith Cancun English service was fantastic. It started with 30 minutes of traditional Christmas music which allowed us time to enjoy conversation and fellowship with our friends. Listening music was followed by singing traditional hymns, a great Christmas service lesson and a candlelight close.
“Christmas is a season for kindling the fire for hospitality in the hall and the genial flame of charity in the heart.” Washington Irving

As we have discussed, this week’s service will start at 9:30 AM featuring Christmas music by Ernesto Cortazar II. Ernesto Cortazar II (1940–2004) was a contemporary classical composer and pianist. He started his music career in Mexico at the age of 18 composing the background music for the motion picture La Risa de la Ciudad. Since then, he has composed background music for more than 500 motion pictures. He also gained notoriety by topping the popularity on MP3.com - a leading music-sharing service, popular with independent musicians for promoting their work. He traveled to more than 25 countries to perform. In 2001, Ernesto moved from Los Angeles to Tampico, Mexico to live his last years near his family, where he died in 2004. His music legacy is continued by his two sons, Ernesto Cortazar III and Edgar Cortazar, who are successful songwriters in the Latin market. We promise you will enjoy the pre-church music so come early, relax and enjoy Christmas Day with us.

With the financial help of our worldwide Mission Partners, this past week, volunteers from Cancun Christian Fellowship were able to provide a week’s supply of eggs, cheese (yellow and white), chicken, chorizo, pork, ham and turkey lunchmeat, salchicha, molida especial, rice, mermelada and milk to our Cancun Christian home. Groceries are purchased and delivered every Wednesday. If you would like to make a donation to our Casa Hogar Food Fund, please contact Cherilyn or Tom.

It is nice that George and Jean have joined our fellowship as Sunday regulars. New members are always welcome and appreciated. It is also good to see Gary and Marti returning to our Cancun family. We missed you in your absence. It’s also nice having Gary back in the Wednesday men’s group.
TJ also brought a guest this week, Diana Contreras. It is always great to have guests and we hope all of you take the lead from TJ.
GREAT INFO TO READ AND KEEP HANDY: Most of you remember Donald Kelly. Donald has opened an auto repair shop (Cancun Repair Center) in the business park behind the Comfort Inn on Autopista 307 and near the airport. To find his building, go through security and proceed straight ahead. Once you get to the concrete wall turn right and at the next road turn left. He is the first building on the left behind the chain link fence. His office phone number is 998-886-2161. Many of our church members and friends have used his services and we are very happy to have his business in Cancun. Tell Don you heard about him in the CCF Newsletter.
Henry deserves congratulations and recognition. It seems that Henry had a great score in the triathlon competition last week. Keep up the good work Henry.
As many of you know, just prior to the Sunday service we show different fishing videos from approximately 9:15 AM to 9:45 AM. We have a loyal group that shows up weekly to enjoy the fishing adventures. This week we will be highlighting San Felipe, Yucatan and fly fishing for Tarpon. You are invited to come early and join in the fellowship.
Mark Shook will be providing this week’s Sunday service lesson on “Serve the World Celebration”. If you cannot join us in person, we invite you to view the lesson at home. Please click on the link, relax, open your heart and enjoy. http://communityoffaith.lightcastmedia.com/console/3150/341117662

Last week, we had the pleasure of spending time at Casa Hogar para Ninos Esperanza with new Mission Partners from Texas and Serbia. Their children spent quality time with our children and all had a great afternoon.

Our Christian Mission Outreach has been viewed by people representing over 45% of the countries in the world. Below are the Top Ten countries reflected by the number of “hits” received:
United States 867
Mexico 473
Canada 129
Russia 85

Food for thought:
When God saw you ... it was love at first sight.
He paid a debt, He did not owe; You owed a debt, you could not pay.
Only God can give all of Himself to everyone.
God needs our availability more than our ability.
The safest place to be is within the Will of God.
God understands our prayers even when we can't find the words to say them.
Unless we rely on God's power within us, we will yield to the pressures around us.
Prayer is more effective when we spend as much time listening as we do talking.
The Bible is a compass, pointing you in the right direction.
A good exercise for the heart is to bend down and help another up.
Prayer doesn't always change things, but it will change you.
God without man is still God. Man without God is nothing.
The wages of sin have never been reduced.
God doesn't want shares of your life, He wants controlling interest.
We need to seek God Himself more than His gifts.
And our all time favorite: If you were on trial for being a Christian ... would there be enough evidence to convict you?
