Merry Christmas

Will you join me in memorizing these verses? The power of God's Word is awesome! You will be blessed! I know that God will give you opportunities to be a blessing to others with an encouraging word for them at the right time!

This weeks memory verses are:
Ephesians 2:8 - 9 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith--and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God-- not by works, so that no one can boast.


May you be greatly blessed in your study and memorization of God's powerful Word!

Goodbye Kisa


A dear friend and sister in Christ (Kisa Hughes) passed away this week. She was an extraordinarily kind and loving young lady. Her funeral will be this Thursday at Shepherd of the Hills at 11:00 AM if you would like to join us.

(If I could say one last thing to Kisa...it would be something like...)
Dear Kisa,
We know that you have gone on ahead of us and we miss you and look forward to the day when we will see you in heaven. Each of our lives are richer for knowing you. May God bless and comfort your family and friends in their time of sorrow.
Thanks for touching our lives.
David

1. Paul (anyone who can handle that many trials and be content? beyond my comprehension!)
2. Peter (sometimes speaks before he thinks! kind of like me!)
3. Hank Aaron (baseball player...had to handle severe racism...and played with class)
4. Gale Sayers (Hall of Fame football player - movie Brian's Song - played with class!)
5. Hosea (asked by God to marry an unfaithful prostitute? and her name was Gomer?) lol Maybe in that day...Gomer was a more acceptable name for a woman? Sometimes I think my calling from God is much easier than that!
