President’s Post/Church Council News; 

Welcome to 2025!

I would like to start this letter and the new year by saying thank you to everyone that contributed time, finance and talents to the Church. And to those who visited our members in need. Here is a small list of items that got done this last year:

The Bunko night, the Fourth of July Day parade, the Fallon Tree lighting, the cleaning of inside and outside of the church, the fellowship participation, cleaning of the pastor’s robes, keeping the bulletin boards decorated with the change of the seasons, the VBS, and the decoration in the church with banners for the changing seasons. And a special thank you to those that have stepped up with their special project monetary gifts. Without these gifts to God we would not be able to exist.  I know I am missing some things. And to think these items are all on top of those who participate in all the church services we have week by week. As this next year (2025) unfolds, and you see that if something was done in or out of our church, please reach out to those that are making a difference and express your appreciation for a job well done and ask what you can do to assist. We are blessed to have a great congregation, and an outstanding pastor and secretary. Again, thanks to all.

Epiphany is January 6, 2025!  This will close out the Christmas season. 

 When the angels went away from them into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, “Let us go over to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has made known to us.” And they went with haste and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby lying in a manger. And when they saw it, they made known the saying that had been told them concerning this child.   Luke 2:15-17.

These shepherds that heard and saw the angels and they ran to Bethlehem to be witnesses of the birth of the savior, did not keep this a secret. NO, they let anyone that would listen to them know the great news. Is that not what we should be doing also? In the 60s and 70s they were called Jesus freaks by the unbelievers. I personally am proud to be such an individual. Let us all spread the word and bring those that we speak to, to church. By doing so you are helping build the kingdom of God.
