Pastor's Notes

I hope that Everyone had a good Thanksgiving! We had a good time around our house, enjoying time with each other. We watched some movies, ate a big turkey dinner, and made a craft together. It was a relaxing day to enjoy some time together.

There is a lot that is coming up this week. We will be having a Theology Class, and a Ladies Bible Study on the same night. I have a meeting on Friday in South Jersey and will be traveling with my friend, Pastor Roof, down and back. I am looking forward to the time of fellowship with him.

The Christmas Dinner will be on Saturday, December 19 at 5:30 PM. The church will provide a ham and turkey for the dinner, and we ask that you bring a side and/or dessert to share. I look forward to this time of fellowship together as we remember the birth of our Savior, and that He came to die for our sins.

It is interesting listening to Joel talk, he is using more and more words, but he has a hard time with his siblings names. Stephen is "Oonan", Rebekah is "Nekah" and Jennifer is "UhHuh." Perhaps in the near future, we will be able to tell which one of his sisters and brother he is complaining about. Until then, we are continuing to teach him their names.

As we prepare for Christmas, we will set up a table in the back for non-perishables. During this time there are some families that are going through a season of difficulty, and we would like to be able to minister to them, and share with them an example of God's Great love.
