The dinner and meeting yesterday were wonderful. The cold
and snow kept some people at home, warm and safe. They were
missed by those who shared in worship and fellowship and the
annual meeting. Hopefully we will have good weather when we
install newly elected officers and begin the new year in earnest. (Of
course, this does not prevent our prayers even now for them and us,
as together we strengthen our witness to the Christ and demonstrate
our love for our neighbor, fulfilling our mission as a church.
Ken had devotions for prayer breakfast this morning and he
considered some of the next verses after Sunday’s sermon text. I
Thessalonians 5.16-18-- Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, and
give thanks in all circumstances. Certainly this message fits all of us,
especially during this season as we once again turn our thoughts to
more than turkey and holidays. We are blessed beyond measure and
it would be good if rather than just say, “We sure are lucky” that we
ponder again the statement “of whom much is given will much be
required.” Surely God is good and has blessed us!
Praying God’s blessing upon you this week- Pastor Lynn
This past Sunday we were blessed to have some special music. First the Carillons
had a special piece and then the Chancel Choir had a special anthem. Both were
wonderful. Thank you to the Carillons, the Chancel Choir and Steve and Christy.
All your efforts are appreciated.
