Dec. 28... Training Materials

Welcome as I write the blog on this cold and wintry December morning.

It is my hope that you had a wonderful Christmas at your house. I know for me personally, it was a very nice Christmas. Jan, Angela, me and my Mother-in-law, Bea had a wonderful few days together. We had great holiday foods and lots of fun. We also had lots of gifts... that's the way Jan likes it!

PERSONAL NOTE: I would like to take the opportunity to thank everyone who helped in making the Christmas holidays as nice as they were. We had very nice decorations and lots of special treats. Let me thank all of the participants in the candle lighting each Sunday in Dec... you did a great job. Extra work always goes in to the music so "Thanks" to all of our musicians for their hard work (and the guys in the sound room).

I want to thank Angela Foltz and Janice Foltz for all of their help on the Christmas eve. service. I thought that it was a great time. It would not happen without the help of many hands.

Thank you Brenda von Linsowe for your solo special this past Sunday. Very nice... acappella.

I won't have the opportunity before the next blog to say this soooo... "HAPPY NEW YEAR, MMX!"
I trust that this new year will be better than this last year... on a number of levels!

YOU CAN KNOW THE WILL OF GOD: In First Peter, chapter 4 and verse 19, scripture declares that it is God's will that if we do suffer for being a Christian, we should do what is right and trust God in the situation. Remember... all things work together for the good... Hold on my child!
