Christmas Memories

Memories of: dressing up... eating amazing food... hearing the Christmas story from the Bible... opening gag gifts... McKenzie dropping pie in her lap... ridiculous trivia questions... the hilarious song of 12 Days of Christmas... Derek belting out his best singing voice ever... goofing off together...the list goes on and on.

May you all experience a blessed Christmas this year! Remember the reason we celebrate is the BIRTH of OUR LORD, JESUS CHRIST!

MYF at 6pm TONIGHT!

MYF starts at 6pm tonight, due to the girls 1st Basketball game. Pastor Bruce will be with us again with another good BIble Study. Bring your Bibles!

If you wish to go to the game, a group of us will be heading over at 7:00. If you need a ride, see JoEllen tonight.

The Joy of Giving

We had fun wrapping presents for the kids in West Virginia. We wrapped 45 gifts that night! What a neat opportunity to be a blessing to children who may otherwise not experience the joy of opening a gift on Christmas morning. Oh, wouldn't it be nice to see the look on their faces when they see their special gift? May they sense that their gift was sent with love!

Miller Family

Dr Eric and Jodi were so nice to invite us over for supper and a movie. The original plan was to have a bonfire and eat outside, but the wind and cold canceled that idea. So, we ventured over to Eric's parents house. We ate a nice meal in the heated garage. Jodi is an awesome cook. Thanks, Jodi! And then we headed down to the basement for devotions (led by Burke); a game of Sardines and the Bee Movie on the Big Screen! What a fun evening. Thanks, Miller Family.
