Thank you for your Prayers!




Thank you so much for your prayers for our Christmas Program rehearsals!! They have gone very well. They've gone so well that the boomwhacker choir has added another song and not only have we formed a men's ensemble but we are going to add a small ladies ensemble!!!!! Everyone is a buzz about the program! It is exciting to see the folks come together. On Saturday we meet here in our home and practice the adult choirs, boomwhacker choirs and the drama team. We had a house full! This is a time when our folks get to know each other better. We have 60 folks that attend our services these days. Not all of them come on the same Sunday but we are getting close to averaging 55! We are so excited to see the newer folks get involved in the Christmas program! Yesterday it was such a joy to lead the children's voice and bell choir. We have one little guy (3 years old) that sings at the top of his lungs and not necessarily on key! The kids have come a long way. We graduated a lot of our kids up to youth group so our choir is made up of younger children this year. (5th grade and down) I still have 15 kids in the choir! All of the kids in our church come with their parents! Our church is blessed with lots of families!! Continue to pray for us. I'm so exhausted by the time 5:00 Sunday afternoon rolls around. This is when I can sit for the first time all weekend. At least this is when I notice that I am sitting!!

Also pray for Sam. He is so busy with Seminary, Counseling/Discipleship, church, Christmas Program ... . God has given Sam many opportunities to share the Hope we have in Christ via counseling. Folks have come to Christ as a result and many are getting their lives back on track. We are so thankful for God's Word and the Truth that sets us free, encourages us and gives us true joy in this life!

May you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving this week! We all have so much to be thankful for!
