The organizers assure me there will be plenty of food, enough that you won't have to cook Sunday dinner afterward. There is also some lively entertainment planned, so it will be a fun time. Plan to invite your friends, make up a table of eight, and kick off your Christmas socializing. The cost is $22.00 per person and all proceeds after expenses will go toward sponsoring our mission team.
Speaking of Christmas entertaining, Linda has offered to manage a bottle drive over the next few months, with most of the proceeds going toward the DR mission. So, bring those empties to the church and put your refund to good use.
On the fund-raising topic, we are pleased to report that over $500.00 was raised with the dessert and soup sales.
'Tis the season when many feel overwhelmed with busyness -- shopping, baking, wrapping, decorating -- but remember the small child, born in a manger. Angels sang His birth, but there was no room at the inn. Wise men brought costly gifts, but Herod sought to kill Him. As we rejoice with friends and family, sharing love with those closest to us, remember that Jesus instructed His followers to care for the poor and the hungry and the thirsty and the stranger and the naked and the prisoner -- "Inasmuch as ye have tone it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me." Matt 25:40 (KJV)
