Christmas Time is Here!
We had our Sunday School Christmas program this morning! Well, it wasn't anything like we had ever participated in. Various people sang songs, read poems, and the like. It really was neat to see all the talent that our congregation has!
Nathan played "Silent Night" on the piano. Kenny sang "Mary Did You Know?". Judy sang "We Are the Reason." (the oldies are still goodies!) Ken & Judy did a tandem storytelling titled "No Iguanas Allowed." We had done that our first Christmas in Washington, MI and from then on we had to put an iguana into our Christmas Eve story. So this year, we introduced the iguana to our new congregation!
Cressalyn was supposed to do a flute special but left her flute in her locker at school. Bummer.
I wish we had videotaped the service. It was good! 4 year old Noah sang "Go Tell it On the Mountain" with his daddy. The elementary Sunday school class worked puppets and sang. One of our dear ladies, Jan, wrote something very special just for the day. "The Innkeeper's Letter." She had planned to read it in full costume, from the vantage point of the Innkeeper writing a letter to his brother Hiram about the baby born in the stable. Unfortunately, Jan was put into the hospital on Tuesday last week. Ken and I went and took her home yesterday. She didn't feel up to going to church this morning so her niece, Connie, did the skit. It was wonderful! Jan is a very gifted lady! She has written songs as well! We aren't ready for her to leave us just yet, but she told us today that she is ready and eager to get to Heaven. It was so beautiful to see the light in her eyes as she talked of Heaven!
Kenny has been working very hard to finish his last exams. Tonight with the help of his tutor, Dave, he has completed the final exam for his high school requirements! It will hit the mail tomorrow! So, soon after the new year, if not before, Kenny will have his diploma! He's so excited as are his parents! This means now we can begin the process of enrolling him at Bethany Bible College. He also is now allowed to get a full time job further away from home. He hopes to find something to begin in January. He has given his notice at the redemption center in Harrisville.
One more thing, all the money has been raised for the kids to go to LOGOS 5 in Boston! 2 weeks ago we needed over $600! It's all in and even a bit more! God is so good!
Enjoy this special season! Maybe I will take a picture of our tree! Email me one of yours! We'd love to see them!
