It's still Christmas! It's true, Christmastide is the 12 days after Christmas, so it's not over just yet. And while I hope that you don't get a partridge or any other birds sent to your door, it is a good time to share gifts. And I'm not talking about re-gifting that thing you're not quite sure what to do with. It's a good time to share the gift of Christ, and the Hope, Love, Joy, and Peace He brings. Pray for and fellowship with your neighbors. Maybe a family or friend has been on your heart. The Christmas feeling is still in the air. Reach out to them, and invite them to join you at church in the New Year, so they too can receive the best gift!
New Year's Eve Worship at 8:30 and 11:00 a.m.
Wednesday Evening classes begin January 10th for children, youth, and adults, 6:30 p.m.

This week has been busy with continued preparation for the Byrd Hall demolition that is scheduled after the New Year. The kitchen transformation is moving along well.
