From Your Pastor’s Heart
I
just want to thank each person for getting their picture made for the pictorial
directory. I also want to thank
Jean Burns and Marlene Sturkie for their work in making the new directory a
reality. We really needed this
ministry help.
Lots
going on between now and the first of the year.
Be sure to keep your calendar close so you can keep up with all the
events.
The
Wilder family wishes each person a very Merry Christmas and happy new Year!
The
Christmas Cantata “Noel” and the Christmas Dinner December 16, 2007 at 6:00
PM
The choir will perform and it is promised to be a delightful evening of
music. Bring your favorite meats,
casseroles and desserts and we’ll all sit down and eat together.
Then the old jolly fellow himself will be present to greet the young and
old alike. We have plenty of room
and look forward to seeing you there.
Invite your family and friends for a special night of Christmas music and
fellowship!
It
is hard to believe that we are at the end of 2007 which means that we are going
to be busy during the month of December.
We are going to The Silver Ring Thing on December 1st.
Then on December 12th we will be having our Christmas party.
We will give details about this on Wednesday nights.
Finally on December 31st we will be having our annual Lock-in.
The Lock-in will be from 8:00pm on the 31st to 8:00am on
January 1st.
In the midst of school ending, exams, and family gatherings I hope to see
you at these events.
Speaking
of school getting out for Christmas, I encourage all of you to take this break
as a time to relax and rejuvenate.
Spend time with your family and friends, have fun, and be ready to go
back in January and do your best.
Once school starts back we will begin a new study on Wednesday nights
that will take us several weeks.
I hope to see you here for this study.
I hope you all have a great break and don’t forget the reason that we
are able to be out of school and have our family gatherings.
If Christ had not come to this earth in human form then we wouldn’t
have Christmas.
Have a good break and I hope to see you at our myriad of stuff this
month.
In
Christ,
John

UPWARD BASKETBALL MINISTRY
We
are excited about the opportunities for ministry that Upward Basketball is
presenting to us. We are still
looking for coaches, referees, and game day workers.
If you have not signed up to help we would love to have you join us in
ministering to our children.
