ROOM IN THE INN

Once again the Adults 4 Christ Class stepped up and did an outstanding job handling their Room In The Inn assignment. There was so much food left over that we could have fed another group. The only thing that we had more of than food was people to help out. We served meat loaf, mashed potatoes, green beans, and rolls. As well as the regular desserts offered by the church our class provided and served Blue Bell ice cream to everyone. Gloves and reading glasses, purchased with money collected at our Christmas Party were given to each person in the group. Rob and Caye Darnell conducted the prayer and worship service.

IMPORTANT NOTE: It’s always amazing when this Class is given an assignment and before they’re done they raise the bar a notch or 2. Thank God for this Mission Project and for Grace allowing us to help.

God is always fair. He will remember how you helped his people in the past and how you are still helping them. You belong to God, and he won’t forget the love you have shown his people.
Hebrews 6:10 (The Contemporary English Version)

The SBC Day of Prayer is a time of prayer, fasting, and repentance. The goal of this Solemn Assembly is for congregations to "Be still and know that God is God," as a sign of humility and desire to wholeheartedly return to Him. By being still before Him (see Psalm 46:10), we exalt our God and position ourselves to obey the Great Commandment found in Mark 12:29-31 and the Great Commission our Lord gave in Matthew 28:18-20. We have forgotten our first love (Revelation 2:4). We need revival in the SBC. We need God's direction.

WHO WAS LOTTIE MOON

Lottie Moon - the namesake of the international missions offering - has become something of a legend to us. But in her time Lottie was anything but an untouchable hero. In fact, she was like today's missionaries. She was a hard-working, deep-loving Southern Baptist who labored tirelessly so her people group could know Jesus.

PEOPLE CHANGE

Life involves many changes and different seasons. We become surprised by trouble when we’re experiencing a pleasant time of life and believe that everything will stay the same. But the only thing that won’t change is change. Just when you think, “Yes, I like this stage of life, I’d like to keep it just as it is,” things will change. We can enjoy the present stage, but don’t depend on it for contentment or happiness.

Only God doesn’t change and knowing that should give us security in life. Circumstances change. People change. But God never changes. We must focus on him, not on life when it comes to security and joy.

FLYFAITH: CHRISTMAS PARTY HIT

We had 36 plus a baby at our class party. Which is a good number considering all those who were sick. After everyone left about 11PM, Brenda and I said to each other as we were going to bed that we wish everyone could have had been here because it was a blast. Everyone got here between 6:30 and 7PM, we ate Italian. David did a fun Christmas team event and then Flyfaith performed for about 45 minutes. I think we collected about $200 for the Christmas family or mission. It was one of our best Christmas Partys ever.
