A GREAT DAY IN THE LORD!

We enjoyed a great day Sunday as we had such beautiful weather and there seemed to be a lively spirit in our fellowship. The choir is doing an outstanding job, and our music director, Adam Stich is doing an excellent job. We enjoyed the singing of the newly formed trio of Linda Gunter, Lori Creech and Adam Stich. We do have some great talent in our church family.

I had the privilege of preaching in the morning service, and son Donny led in the evening hour. Pastor Larry and his wife were away on a brief vacation and we did miss having them with us, but we are assured that they will be here on Wednesday night.

Our church directories are in, and I plan on passing them out tomorrow night, Wednesday, at the supper and Bible Study and Prayer Meeting. They turned out very well, but lots of folks think their pictures don’t look like them! We just have to be satisfied with what God has made of us, and know that someday in heaven we will all be beautiful, inside and outside. We had about 85 families that had pictures made for the directory, the first one since 1998, and there have been many changes of course. This directory is loose-leaf and will be easy to update with new pictures and names and addresses of new members who join with us in the days to come.  My appreciation to Joan Buckheister, the church ministry assistant, for all the work she did in helping me get this directory prepared and distributed.

So much for now, will share more later. Keep on keeping on, and if you are participating in the Faith Cometh by Hearing campaign to listen to the complete Old Testament on tape or CD which ends on Christmas Day, I hope you are still on schedule. Don’t quit, even if you don’t finish on time, just keep on listening each day. You will be blessed.
