A very familiar hymn among Christians especially this time of year is Joy to the World. Written by Isaac Watts and inspired by Psalm 98, it delivers a powerful message about the coming of Christ, His impact on the world, and His ultimate return. There are three considerations for every christian and every church.
In the first verse, we see the entrance of the King: Joy to the world, the Lord is come! Let earth receive her King; Let every heart prepare Him room, And heaven and nature sing.

Throughout history, critics of Jesus have questioned who He was and whether He ever existed. Over the next few weeks, we will examine several independent, reliable, non-biblical sources from the first century AD to argue for the historicity of the existence of a man named Jesus of Nazareth. These sources stand as reliable accounts in rebuttal to the claim that there is insufficient independent evidence to substantiate His existence.

Dear Santa,
I have been good this year. I aim for straight A's and always try to spread kindness. This year I am asking for many things like clothing and jewelry, but mainly a straightener and a new pair of shoes. I hope you consider and enjoy our cookies and milk and the reindeer enjoy the carrots. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

NASHVILLE - Nash County's Elementary Schools will now have their own full-time, full-day school resource officers, after a $500,000 request was made to Nash County commissioners at their Dec. 8 meeting. It resulted in a 5-2 split vote of approval.
Steve Ellis, superintendent, appeared before the board to make the request, which initially appeared as an "information only" item on the agenda.
Ellis, thanking commissioners for their "continued partnership and commitment to the safety and wellbeing of our students, staff and community," said he was there to ask for support to complete full funding to cover full-time SROs in each elementary school.

NASHVILLE - Town leaders have given a conditional nod for development of a new commercial park planned to hold nine commercial lots, each with its own shell building.
The Bailee Commercial Park, under TTL Development LLC, would encompass the south 17.5 acres of the town's West Nashville Commerce Park along Cooke Road.
"Bailee's Commerce Park inside Nashville's Commerce Park- how is that going to work?"

Nashville's Children Celebration and Bicycle Parade has been a tradition in Nashville for more than three decades. On Saturday, youngsters arrived in downtown Nashville Saturday afternoon excited and ready to march and ride in their very own parade. In addition to the parade, free children's activities were available and photos with Santa afterwards.

SPRING HOPE - A plan to remove iron from town wells, following up on an agreement made in 2022, has just been signed off on by project engineers, with commissioners voting to approve a contract task order at their Dec. 1 meeting.
A task order between the town and L.E. Wooten & Company, consulting engineers, puts a completion date of April 2026 for the first phase of well improvements, specifically targeted at "iron sequestering." The cost for that is $35,000, a portion of the $185,000 total project cost.
