Dec. 21... Training Materials

Good day to all of you on this very wintry day in Michigan! I trust that all of you had a great Sunday of service and worship. I was very blessed with yesterdays' service.

PERSONAL NOTE: Here are just a few things that I thought I would make mention of:
  • Today (Mon.) I will be on "ASK THE PASTOR" at 2 pm.
  • Wednesday Bible study is cancelled in view of Thursday's service.
  • Thursday is our Christmas eve. candlelight service at 7pm... one hour (or less).
  • The Church office is closed on the 24th and 25th.
  • Thank you to all who participated in the CD distribution.
  • Thanks to all who went carolling... it was much appreciated.
  • Thank you from the Foltz family for the Sunday School Christmas gift!
  • Thanks choir for the choir number (I was singing along).
  • Thank you Dee for your solo special. Nice ministry.
  • Thanks to the LePage family for the candle lighting (number 4).

YOU CAN KNOW THE WILL OF GOD: In First Peter 4 and verse 16 the scriptures clearly teaches us that it is God's will that if we suffer for being a Christian... we should glorify God! Remember that Jesus suffered for being God's anointed one. Who are you? This is God's will.
