It was a typical wintry day for church on Sunday, however, it was a good day to be in God’s house. Our group was smaller than usual, due to the weather, but we had a good Sunday school lesson and church service. We have many still on the prayer list, continue to mention them each time you pray.
Brother Dennis preached from Romans 5:1-5, speaking about faith, hope and patience.
After services, we enjoyed a bountiful meal and fellowship with those who weathered the cold. We missed several who are usually with us.
Our Christmas program will be Friday night, Dec. 17, 7 p.m., everyone is welcome.
