The Christmas Season is certainly upon us – programs, parties, presents, etc. Enjoy the holiday, but please, remember the reason we have this special season. Reread the verse at the top of this post.

The Senior Adult Christmas Luncheon is scheduled for tomorrow at 11:00. I don’t know how the bad weather will affect this, but will let you know if I hear of any change.

Be alert to the weather reports for tonight and tomorrow. Respond as needed. Check on friends and neighbors. Do your errands today, because tomorrow may not be a good day for them.

TODAY’s PRAYER FOCUS – Pray for friends, family, and total strangers to have the right focus concerning the holidays.
