Christmas Program 2008

Thanks Megan, Monica, and Janet for helping with the children's Choir! May God richly bless you!

Carolyn directed the sign language presentation. She worked with children who were hardly at practice and was sweating bullets to make it happen. After the program many parents and adults alike voiced their opinion on that part of the program and wished it were longer. THANK YOU CAROLYN AND BEN FOR PUTTING UP WITH ME AND GIVING TO THE LORD! (Your Pastor's Wife)

This year's Christmas Drama may have appeared to have had an unhappy ending but look closer.

We had a family with three daughters and one very athletic son, his father's pride and joy. The son comes down with a terminal illness.

Just weeks before his diagnosis "Matthew" repents of his sins and gives his all to Jesus. This in turn brings the family to Christ and yes Matthew dies. Even though they had Christmas without their son/brother, they celebrated knowing Jesus Christ. And knowing they would see him again. What a promise!

Many of you know I lost my dad this past Thanksgiving Day to cancer. This drama was difficult at times for me given the diagnosis of the boy, "brain cancer" however, when we sat down to write this Christmas Drama we knew God gave it to us. Praise the Lord for His guidance!

Megan had prepared 160 bags to give to all those at the Program. She ran out of them. There were several families who never got a bag. We can guess 170-180 people attended. Praise the Lord! A special thank you to all those who worked so hard to make this happen.

May God Richly Bless You With His Presence.
