“Give thanks to the LORD, for the LORD is good;
his love
endures forever. Give thanks to the Lord for his unfailing love and his wonderful deeds for humankind,
for the LORD satisfies the thirsty and fills the hungry
with good things.” (
PSALM 107:1,8-9
NIV)

Deacons Christmas Party Bus!
This year our Diaconate decided that instead of having their usual Christmas party, they would spend a Saturday afternoon visiting two of our senior adult residences to spread a little holiday cheer and honor some vets on Veterans' Day. Twenty-five deacons rode their "party bus" around town, distributing good will and goody bags.
