We had a fabulous Christmas Eve Service last week. The band did a fantastic job with the music. Andrew, as normal did good job getting everything ready for the evening. Our church family brought their friends and family. In fact, we ran out of room for people. The band stayed on the stage, greeters and volunteers did without a seat, and everyone pushed in close as we added rows of extra chairs. It's always hard to get an accurate count at a service like that but the best we could come up with was about 125!
Also, I have to share how truly blessed I am by our church's generosity. I know the people in our church are not immune to all of the economic bad news. People have lost jobs, had hours cut, or are under employed. But I was amazed to see the Christmas Gift for Jesus Offering totals...just over $2,000! That money will go a long to helping our missionary partner, Tim Ekno, to provide lepers in India with a Christmas dinner, change of clothing, and the message of hope in Jesus Christ.
For all of you who served, gave, and invited...Thank you! Cecil and I are truly grateful to pastor this church. Your passion to follow Christ in all areas of life encourages us to keep serving the Kingdom.
