Today’s Verse
Read the Bible Daily
Ezekiel 21-22
Operation Christmas Child
It is not too early to or too late to volunteer to help with OCC in your church. Talk to your local leadership to get involved in shoeboxes for 2026.
December is a busy month. Set some priorities and schedule your time in what you think is important for you.
Obituaries – No new ones listed this morning.
Prayer Focus
At this time of the year there are many opportunities for us. Let’s choose those that are beneficial to us as individuals and families that point out the one true meaning of the season. Make some small signs and post in you home that say “Jesus is the reason for the season”.
Updates
Some of those we have been praying for are better and can be removed from our personal prayer lists. Others need to be listed again or for the first time. Updating is needed periodically.
If you have not been reading your Bible daily or according to a special plan, now is a good time to look around and choose one that will work for you. You are always welcome to read the passages I list each day. Feel free to join us in Ezekiel now.
Additional Scripture Reading
‘Sowing Faith, Hope, Love’
3 We always thank God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, when we pray for you,
4 because we have heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and of the love you have for all God’s people—
5 the faith and love that spring from the hope stored up for you in heaven and about which you have already heard in the true message of the gospel
Colossians 1:3-5 NIV
Christmas at FBC, Kentwood
I don’t know when all the Christmas activities/programs will be in my church and certainly not in the whole community, but as opportunities arise, take advantage of them.
One opportunity I would suggest is next week, on December 11th at 7 P.M. A US Marine jazz band concert will be at the Amite High Theater. The program varies each year, but has been good each year we have attended. There is no charge to attend. Maybe you will want to attend and see for yourself.
FBC, Amite is presenting a living Christmas Tree on the 14th with two performances. I don’t know if they have any more seats, but I know it was filling up quickly. The tickets are free, just a way to keep the size of the crowd within safe numbers.
FBC, Kentwood will have a program presented by the adults and another one presented by the children. I cannot give you dates or times, but you can call the church office for that information. The programs are on Sundays and within our usual church schedule.
Remember, Jesus is the reason for the season!
