Announcements.

If you are visiting us for the first time today we hope that you feel welcome.  We would appreciate it if you could fill out the “Welcome” card in the pew backs and drop them in the offering plate so we can get to know you.

There will be no prayer meeting this Wednesday.

Springdale Mennonite would like to welcome us as their guests for an evening of music and fellowship at their Christmas Eve Service, December 24th at 7:30.

The poinsettias at the front of the church are for you to take home.  There is one for each family, so please help yourself.

Everyone is welcome to a New Year’s Eve Party at Danny and Frances Weavers on December 31st beginning at 8:00.  Bring a game and a snack.

Prayer Concerns

  • Pray for our friends and family members dealing with cancer and its treatments.
  • Remember those who have recently lost loved ones as the holidays can be especially difficult.
  • Please pray for those that have recently been laid off and others struggling with the slowing economy in our community and worldwide.
  • Remember to thank God for the many blessings we have received.

Luke 1:38, “Then Mary said, “Here am I, the servant of the Lord; let it be with me according to your word.”
