                   Peg and I want to thank the church body for the gifts of the Notepads for Christmas.  They were a total surprise and a blessing as we continue to try to keep somewhat current with modern technology.  As a body, your kindness and thoughtfulness through this year has been such a blessing and always seemed to come at a time when it was the greatest encouragement to us.  As we look forward to a new year, it is a joy to enter it with you!  From a heart attack to a broken foot, paths we would not have chosen for ourselves, but paths God chose, you have been there.  As we travelled those paths, you as a body travelled those paths with us with your help, thoughts and prayers.  Thank you for caring for Peg and through this past year and for the gift of technology! --- Pastor

Wednesday, December 12th – Bible Study and Prayer Time – 6:30 pm
– “Of utmost importance to prayer is God’s sovereignty.  God is supremely in charge of everything that happens in His universe.  Nothing takes Him by surprise and nothing happens without the knowledge of God, even though we may not always understand.  In hearing and responding to our prayers, then, we are assured that God will do so on the basis of His many attributes.  His personal nature, love, power, knowledge, wisdom, holiness, immanence, and sovereignty all play a role in how we relate to God in prayer and how He relates to us.” --- Robert Velarde, www.focusonthefamily.com
