2025? Bring it On! We have plans! We are blessed to be in the family of God and I’m glad we’ve had such a good Christmas together. I look forward to the upcoming New Year, come what may.

We wish you a very, merry Christmas! It comes down to the last bulletin before Christmas. We have had pleasant weather to this point. But winter is upon us and we are sure to have colder weather and I hope we have some snow along the way. Perhaps the reality will be like the description of a European city in which the weather was described as “Averages are just, well, averages.”

We wish you a Merry Christmas! We had a tremendous Holiday Dinner with a great meal attended by a very energetic and spirited group of people of all ages. We enjoyed the time together and were able to spend some time with people we love and watch as children received gifts and we all sang songs.

We end our year focused on Jesus! As we are enjoying this season of the year, we are bringing it to a close by focusing on the blessings of God through Jesus Christ. JP ignited our thoughts on the first Sunday in speaking of love. What a great topic!

“Shared Blessings” was a wonderful time! We always have a devotional before handing out the boxes. Praise God for being able to work with so many Christians in the Memphis area to share groceries for meals, but for also sharing the word of God!

We are ready to eat - at anytime, aren’t we? The Wednesday night Thanksgiving meal was so well attended and the food was (as usual) very delicious! Chad Cox and his ‘kitchen crew’ do a great job each week - and even though they are taking a break over the holidays, they are ready to begin again in early 2025.

What a privilege to serve God together! Please remember our brothers and sisters in Christ in Ukraine. The reports keep coming of intensified bombing in Kyiv. In spite of this, our brothers and sisters in Christ continue to serve God by helping others, teaching others and regularly participating with them in worship.

The time has changed-literally - and the leaves are ‘falling in line’ as if to recognize that ‘time marches on.’ It is a gorgeous time to be outside! We are enjoying so many blessings from God—and we are entering the time of year that has to be a favorite for God-fearing people...Thanksgiving.
