I’ve heard nothing but really good reports from those who participated in last weekend’s YOUTH CHRISTMAS PARTIES. And I understand we had a fine turnout. Terrific! Speaking of youth…

The Reverend Mrs. Davis Corresponds: LIVING THE QUESTIONS BEGINS ON WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 10 (6-8 P.M.) THIS CLASS WILL FOCUS ON QUESTIONS THAT OFTEN ARISE IN THE MINDS OF CHRISTIAN BELIEVERS; E.G. WHAT ABOUT THE VIRGIN BIRTH – MIRACLES – RESURRECTION, ETC. IT WOULD BE GOOD IF STUDENTS HAD ATTENDED DISCIPLE I BIBLE STUDY OR SOME STUDY EQUIVALENCY. NANCY D. WILL LEAD THIS CLASS. YOU MAY SIGN UP IN THE ROTUNDA.

DAN & DONNA T. write: With the house selling market in turmoil, we have been unable to sell our home. We are now looking to lease our home through the winter months. If you know of someone looking for a very large house to rent for up to 6 months, please contact the them. Thank you.

There’s a song in the air!
There’s a star in the sky!
There’s a mother’s deep prayer
and a baby’s low cry!
And the star rains its fire while the beautiful sing
For the manger in cradles a King!
*I’ll look forward to seeing many of you on Sunday, morning and/or evening. If you’re traveling, come home safe. And to all: MERRY CHRISTMAS!
