Plans for the mission fund raiser

On Tuesday night we had a meeting of the Louisiana Mission Team scheduled but onyl a few of us showed up. We decided to postpone the meeting to next month and concentrate on the Fund raiser on February 5th. Our next meeting will be on January 4th at Central Baptist at 6:00 p.m. We will be asking all of our mission team partners past and present to find one auction item and to give us some time on Friday or Saturday of the pasta dinner.

We hope to raise $3500 for the mission team next year and build on the success of the past two years. So save the date - February 5, 2011 at Central Baptist Church.

45 MPH services

Tonight we hosted our regular "45 MPH service" at church. We prayed for several people including Rachel B. who is having her tonsils out next week and Pam K. who had knee surgery on Tuesday. We also gave thanks that Judy D. cataract surgery went well and that Treasure H. was celebrating another birthday (even though she played hooky tonight.)

Cheryl and Steve offered up some praise music to get us started and then I spoke for a few minutes about the confrontation Jesus had with the Pharisees in John 8. I closed out my message by lifting up the joy that was ours in the birth of Christ which reminds us that we all have benefited from the love of God that came down at Christmas.

We will continue to meet right through the end of the year. Join us next week as we celebrate an early Christmas service!
