Ladies Christmas Meeting December 3, 2011

OK, here I am with our Christmas meeting.  I said I hope to get caught up in a couple of weeks.  Well, so far I am on track.  I just have one more to do since we only have meetings every two months.  Hopefully, it will be up in a few days.  Maybe I have procrastinated a little, but on the other hand if you are babysitting grand children, helping hubby with book keeping,  taking sermon notes and getting them sent off to be posted on the church web site among other things, well that is part of the reason I stay behind.  Besides,  

Why put off today what you can put off again tomorrow?  :)
 
The best part about procrastination is that you are never bored, because you always have number of tasks that you should be working on. :)  


Don't you just love to smile?  Laughter is such a good medicine. 


Well, with all that said, let us move on.

Fun and Fellowship

Mrs. Bettie Upton leads in some Christmas Carols

Mrs. Mary Rosenau, who works for Ambassador Baptist College,  blessed us with a devotion from God’s Word. 
These are two of our wonderful Senior Saints who have stayed faithful through the years and continue to serve the Lord.  What a blessing they are to all of us!

 

I did get a little bit of video, but not so great as it should have been.

I hope your Christmas 2011 was a time of reflecting upon our Savior and why He came to earth.  For without Him we would have no Christmas at all!
