Wow! It is Christmastime again! Where did the last year go? Gail & I recently returned from a vacation in Branson. 2016 was the last time we went and it was great to return there.
As we travel, we like to play games just for fun. This time we did different Internet Christmas games, one of which was about Christmas songs. It was interesting to read the facts as explanations in the answers popped up. This made us think about the upcoming December Christmas sermon series: Songs of Christmas, Ancient Songs for Hope Today. From Sunday, December 1 through Sunday, December 29, we will discover four of the very first Christmas songs in the Bible and who sang them. You might just be surprised by what they are! I invite you to take this journey with us each Sunday morning.
Each of you is dearly loved by us and we thank God for the extraordinary privilege and honor to serve with you. We wish you a very Merry Christmas from our hearts to yours! Bro. Bennie & Gail
