“Glory to God in the highest and on earth peace to men on whom His favor rests.” 

~Luke 2:14~

Dan Turner is doing well.  The chest tube removed fluid and the vent provides oxygen when he needs it.  Pray for the family as this is now two weeks since the accident.  Pray they will not grow weary and they will stay positive concerning Dan’s recovery.

Stella McDaniel Heth lives east of Arcola.  Yesterday, she fell and broke her wrist and her arm.  She had expensive surgery at North Oaks.  Pray for a complete recovery with a minimal amount of pain.

There was a very respectable size group that braved the elements yesterday and walked and prayed for 27 minutes.  Mainly, they were showing their concern for the 27 families of Newtown that lost a family member.  These families will need our prayers for some time.

I know of two Christmas Eve services in our area.  You will have to choose one because their times overlap.

• Pine Ridge United Methodist Church @ 5:00 P.M.
• East Fort Baptist Church @ 5:30 P.M.

Baptist Press articles – always good

I heard of another death, but will wait for an obituary to post a name.

Jesus is the reason for the greatest season of the year!
