Hopefully, everyone enjoyed a white Christmas today in the midst of our "winter wonderland" which is now stretching out close to two weeks in length. Weather reports indicate that while we're still due for some precipitation, slightly warmer temperatures make it more likely to be wet than white. That gives us a good chance of having a normal end-of-December day on Sunday. That should allow us to get back into something closer to routine than we've experienced the last two weeks.
Sunday morning's sermon challenges us to improve ourselves in the New Year -- "Growing Greater" -- saying that we may not be doing badly, but there is room for improvement in all of us. We'll look at six ways we can do more in our service to the Lord in the coming year.
At this point, it looks as if my family's Open House get-together will be a go -- Sunday afternoon beginning at 4 p.m., we're inviting the whole congregation to come by for refreshments and fellowship. Hopefully, most will stay for evening services. This is subject to rescheduling should the meterologists have missed their temperature projections for Sunday and we're getting more of the white stuff.
Speaking of rescheduling, our guest speaker who had planned to be with us last Tuesday to make a presentation about the work of Ghana West Africa Missions has been slated to come this Tuesday, December 30th. Remember, this is the last of our Tuesday night meetings. We'll eat at 6 p.m. Tuesday with the assembly going from 6:45-7:45. Make a point to come and learn more about service and evangelism activities to spread the gospel in Ghana.
