"If You Knew the Gift of God"

....................

2009 Christmas Outreach Report

We are pleased to announce that your total giving toward the Christmas

Benevolence Offering was sufficient that we were able to bless

five families for Thanksgiving and five families for Christmas.

We praise God for His use of us in blessing others.

....................

Happy New Year to All

May our prayer be that:

In our Home...

We encourage one another,

We build one another up,

We are at peace with each other,

We seek to do good,

We rejoice,

We give thanks,

We pray constantly,

In our Home.

If CHRISTmas had never come

there would be no hope for us!

Thoughts to meditate on ...
Hark the Herald Angels Sing

words by David Phelps

The sun went down like any other day.

But unaware, the world just slipped away.

It was a silent night to many, some heard

but didn't care.

Oh, but to those who had been waiting the

noise was everywhere.

Hark, the herald angels sing.
Glory, glory unto the newborn king ...

The melody was carried by the wind.

No need to fear, peace and goodwill to men.

It echoed off the mountains and filled the valleys low.

A good news celebration that everyone will know.

Hark, the herald angels sing.
Glory, glory unto the newborn king...

Spread the joy across the land.

Christ is born in Bethlehem.
Come and worship and adore.
He will reign forevermore!
