COFFEE TIME
There is a good feeling that I get meeting and greeting people at Church on Sundays, but, there are so many that come and go that you don't get the opportunity to speak to.
At some point in time it was decided to have a coffee hour after the Service on Sunday and then people would have more of a chance to converse and greet others in a social atmosphere.
It works, that is as long as
people stay after Church for a while, and as long as someone makes the coffee. Hosting coffee hour doesn't take a whole lot of
preparation and certainly no need for any expense, since the coffee and cream and cold drink mix are provided.
I personally think that it is a great way to enjoy the
fellowship that is always there, except that some Sundays there is no Coffee hour because no one signs up to do it. |
If you have never done it before and you think you would like to take a turn call me and I'll help you, or just pick a date and sign on the dotted line on the list which is on the bulletin board at the entrance to the Upper Hall
.Incidentally, I'm writing this while I'm having my --
morning coffee.

Christmas in Heaven
I see the countless Christmas trees Aroung the world below, With tiny lights like Heaven's stars Reflecting on the snow. The sight is so spectacular, Please wipe away that tear, For I'm spending Christmas With Jesus Christ this year. I hear the many Christmas songs That people hold so dear, But the sounds of music can't compare With the Christmas choir up here. I have no words to tell you The joy their voices bring, For it is beyond description To hear the angels sing. I know how much you miss me, I see the pain inside your heart, But I am not so far away, We really aren't apart. So be happy for me, dear ones, You know I hold you dear, And be glad I'm spending Christmas With Jesus Christ this year. |
I send you each a special gift
From my heavenly home above, I send you each a memory Of my undying love. After all "Love" is a gift More precious than pure gold. It was always most important In the stories Jesus told. Please love and keep each other As my Heavenly Father said to do, For I can't count the blessings Or love He has for each of you, So have a Merry Christmas, And wipe away that tear, Remember, I'm spending Christmas With Jesus Christ this year.
