Merry Christmas to All!

For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counseller, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.    Isaiah 9:6

 

What a great day!  Merry Christmas everyone.  Christmas fell on a Sunday this year, so we had abbreviated services at our little church.  No Sunday School - just Morning Worship at 10 AM.  I hope you were able to make it to Services to honor our Savior.  We opened the service reading about the birth of Jesus Christ from the Gospel of Luke, chapter 2 along with prayer and special music: "Sweet Little Jesus Boy."

We sang a few carols - Silent Night, Joy to the World and Beautiful Star of Bethlehem.  It was a beautiful time of corporate worship.  Jesus is truly that Light that shines brighter and brighter even in this darkened world.  Over 25 years ago, this tree of light was made and we light it up with candles.  Each family comes up and takes turns lighting up the tree. 

It takes quite a while to light it all up, but once its done, it is a sight to behold!

It was truly a good time of worship together.  We had a number of members that were out today, but we had a number of guests to join us in praising God.

Once the tree was all lit up, we sang, "There's Something About That Name."

Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, There's just something about that name.

Master, Savior, Jesus, Like the fragrance after the rain,

Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, let all heaven and earth proclaim.

Kings and Kingdoms will all pass away,

But there's something about that name.

The Sonnier Family at Our Maker's Acres Family Farm wish you and yours the very best Christmas and a blessed and Happy New Year.
