It’s Christmas Time Again?o:p>

It is hard to believe that Christmas 2007 is nearly upon us.  We have precious little time to finish all the work we wanted to do at Whitewright/Marvin this year. However, when you look back you see that we have done quite a bit this year.  We had a great time celebrating 125 years of existence as a church at Whitewright while Marvin has also had a great year.

Lisa and I are honored to be the pastoral family at both churches and we want to thank each of you for your encouraging support of our personal work and, even more importantly, we thank you for your support of God’s work.  Many great building blocks for the future have been laid and there is little doubt that some exciting times are ahead of us.

As your pastor I want to encourage you to take full advantage of these exciting upcoming events:

  December 1^st—the downtown Christmas Parade

  December 2^nd—Children’s Shut-in Caroling

  December 8^th?-2:00—Children’s Advent Fair

  December 9^th—Children’s Choir sing at WW

                           After-service Meal at WW

                           6:00 Community Cantata at F.B.C.

  December 15^th?/span>5:00 Marvin Christmas Party

  December 16^th—WW  Christmas Cantata

  December 19^th—WW Senior Citizen’s Program

  December 24^th?/span>5:00 Marvin Candlelight Service

                              7:00 WW Candlelight Service

  December 25^th—MERRY CHRISTMAS to all!!!

May this Christmas season be spiritually uplifting.

I know it will be busy, but I do earnestly pray that it will be uplifting for us all. Keep the season in the proper perspective.
