FLOWERS
The
beautiful flowers on the Lord’s Table today
are given by Johnie and Patricia Johnson in memory of their beloved son, Johnie Johnson, III who has been
with the Lord nine years. “We miss him so very much, but precious memories of
him and an extra portion of strength from our Savior has sustained us. We are
grateful to the Lord for the years he was with us.”
JOY TO THE
WORLD
Come and enjoy a live nativity program tonight at
6:00pm. Bring your lawn chairs and some
friends to experience the simple yet profound story of Christmas. Please bring finger foods (chips, dips,
etc.), desserts and drinks for fellowship after the program. Bring the children to see a surprise visitor.
