Flagstaff Christmas Lights Parade Canyon Ministries

Here Is Where We Are

“Here” is the only place we will ever be.  “There” is always one step ahead of us.  Therefore, if we are unable to live joyfully “here” then joy will elude us.  God calls us to embrace the people and opportunities directly before us.  In James 4 we are warned against making boastful plans about where we will go and what we will do because our life is a “mist that appears for a little time and then vanishes” (James 4:13-14).  Jesus also taught us to pray only for the needs of our day, “give us this day our daily bread…” (Matthew 6:11).

God has placed Canyon Ministries “here” in Northern Arizona.  He has set before us specific communities that we are here to love and serve.  We had a fun opportunity to serve the Flagstaff community during the Christmas season.   A Christmas light parade is a part of the Christmas celebration in Flagstaff. 

The community pours into downtown to watch the floats decorated with dazzling lights pass by.  It is an evening of cheer and delight.  We wrapped our Excursion with lights and joined the throng of happy people.  In a time when many are saying, “Happy Holidays,” our message of hope was “Merry Christmas” and “Jesus loves you!” 

Love and serve where you are!

Praiseallujiah!
