Merry Christmas AACC family,

We want you all to know how much we have appreciated serving you in 2009 and look forward to serving you again next year.  Be on the lookout for many new resources to come!  We also want you to know that we appreciate your feedback and opinions regarding the services we provide.  As the Director of Member Care, feel free to send your thoughts to me at amy.feigel@aacc.net.

Recently, we received a word from our President to the staff during our monthly chapel service which I would like to share below.  Using an acronym for the word SNOW, we were challenged with the following:

S–Signs (be sure to look around you for the beautiful signs of the season that serve as a reminder of the true meaning of Christmas)

N–Now (be sure to focus on the here-and-now of this special time and make new memories from the precious moments around you)

O–Others (focus on others that God places in your life and in your path–even as you shop!)

W–Wonders (never forget the wonder that is all around; the wonder of a virgin birth, the wonder in a child’s eyes, the wonder of freshly fallen snow, etc.)

A Christian band many of you may know, the David Crowder Band, states in their Christmas letter for 2009, “Every space you enter is sacred, you carry the very story of God inside of you and it is active and unfolding no matter where you find yourself. Be redemption. And most importantly, love the person in front of you all season long.”

May you be blessed now and always!
