MUSIC MINISTRY
This has been an amazing quarter century. We have experienced good times and bad times, but the good times outnumber the bad. We have been of one mind and one accord which is what God wants. The big highlight is the times we have had in the choir, the cantatas, the senior choir festival, all the times we have offered our praise to God. The fellowship , the love we have shared, I have a giant bucket of all the sweet memories. Look how many children have been born in this time, how time flies. God had blessed us all! What a wonderful time we have had, I will surely miss it. All of you have a special place in my heart. I truly love all of you. God Bless us all. Love, Bro. Danny
If you missed our November luncheon, you missed a true blessing.
Meda had our tables beautifully decorated and we had lots of good "Thanksgiving food"!
There was so much, most of us took home to-go plates!
Personally, I was thankful I didn't have to cook that night!!!!!
We had thirty-three in attendance, counting three guests.
It was a wonderful time of fellowship, laughter, and thanksgiving.
Speaking of Thanksgiving, we all have so much to be thankful for.
As Bro. Danny and Bro. Kevin reminded us, we need to be thankful for all things- good or bad.
If we have a thankful heart, we have a new perspective on the situation.
For December, we voted to sponsor two angels from our angel tree using some of our funds from our account.
Thank you, Kandy, for shopping for us! You always do a great job!
I encourage each of you to join us December 7th for our December luncheon.
Since most will be cooking during Thanksgiving holidays, we will have finger foods for this luncheon.
Bring plenty of Christmas goodies, sandwiches, chips,....anything we can eat with our fingers!!!
Our special guest will be Mary Beth Magee, a local author and storyteller, who will share a Christmas story with us.
It should be just what we need to get into the Christmas season!
In closing, focus on being thankful in all things and reach out and invite friends
to join us as we fellowship together and love each other.
Love you all.
