Welcome to this blog today... one day late! I had a funeral yesterday morning which prevented me from getting the blog up and running.
PERSONAL NOTE: I wish to thank Mr. Bud and the Savior Singers for their message in song Sunday... good job kids! I am also grateful to Miller and Jane Baugh for lighting our first Advent candle of the season. Thanks goes out to Sue Warner for her message in song.
Our condolences goes out to Margaret Martin and family in the passing of her sister, Helen Shields.
A word of advice: Be sure to watch the church bulletins with an extra amount of care during the Christmas season... you won't want to miss out on events!

YOU CAN KNOW THE WILL OF GOD: In James 5 and verse 13, the writer asks a very general question: "Is any one of you in trouble?" WOW! What a very broad question. I think that it is fair to say that in any given week that question may apply to each of us. What is important is the answer to the question which is: "He should pray.". God wants us to know that when we find ourselves troubled, we do have a solution to the trouble and that is to take it to the Lord in prayer... and leave it there! If you give the trouble over to the Lord, watch and see Him take action. When He takes care of it is His business! The song says,"Take your burden to the Lord and leave it there". This is excellent advice.
