A Christmas Prayer
Lord as I celebrate the birth of Jesus, keep me mindful that Christmas is a time for thanksgiving and prayer. I pray to You Father because You desire it and because I need it. Prayer not only changes things; it also changes me. Make me a prayerful Christian, Lord and let me turn every aspect of my life over to You.

It's a new granddaughter for the Halls!

Can You Be Counted On?

Jerry Bailey led our study in Romans 13:1-14 today while Don and Jane are traveling to attend a wedding next weekend.
