The congregation will elect a new nominating committee on November 24th, and that committee will nominate the elders and deacons for the election in January. If asked to serve, please say, "Here I am. Send me!" as Isaiah did.
I am on vacation until January 5th. Jim Garrett will continue to preach on first and third Sundays, and the elders will provide the services on alternate Sundays. See Schedules.
While driving south for Thanksgiving, I will stop in Tennessee to visit with Tom and Gayle Burns. Tom has cataract surgery scheduled for November 24th, so pray that that goes well, and he recovers quickly.
The men from the Recovery Center will be badly missed now that Buckhorn funding has ended, and they will be moving elsewhere. Please pray for them.
We will have our usual candlelight service at 6:00 p.m. on Christmas Eve. Let's hope it will be warm enough for us to do that in the Log Cathedral.
Have a wonderful Christmas. That is my niece's Christmas tree. She lives in Maine, and this is the first time she has ever put it up before Thanksgiving. When do you put yours up (I assume you take it down)?
