Hello Church,
Before I get started I wanted to give you a quick update. Linda Munson came home Sunday afternoon. She was dehydrated and is resting now. So keep her in your prayers.
Thank you all for such a great weekend! The boys football team did great, we had a great lunch after church, and we’re decorated for Christmas. Special thanks to Richard and Mary Beth Switzer for getting so many of the decorations ready to go up. Richard did say to me that we should invite Rich and Linda Bond back every year at about this time just to visit (and help put the tree up like they’ve done so many times in the past). Also, big thanks to Bill Daniels, John Moore, and Steve Tarpening for getting the Christmas lights outside set up.
In this email you’re going to start seeing different opportunities we have for Christmas giving and activities that are going on. Don’t forget Peanut Night coming up next weekend.
I also have something I’d like you to look at. We’re thinking about switching from RightNow Media to another similar service. Take a look at Amplify Media and let me know what you think.
Our parting shots this week comes from our Birthday Lunch and Christmas Decrating. Take a look at the end of the email to find them.
Remember you can forward these emails on to folks that might be interested in them, and they can subscribe by clicking on the button below
Have a great week!
Peace,
Pastor John
