Busy ? (Most of us easily fill our schedules.)

Sometime it becomes necessary to determine what our time can best be spent on. Spend a little time thinking about your total time each week, how you spend it, how you think you should spend it, how God would have you spend it, and what changes need to be made in allocating the twenty-four hours God is giving you today, this week, this month, etc.

Christmas Season

We have attended three Christmas programs, discussed the original Christmas, read from Luke, shared some gifts, made some visits, completed our OCC work for the year, etc. How can we (and you) best spend the next week?

Operation Christmas Child

We packed out shoeboxes almost two months ago. Funds were given to pay the postage. We served as the drop-off location for our area, etc. Now, here are discussing beneficial hanges we want to make for the 2026 year. It’s time to plan how we will carry out this big responsibility in the next year. I would be happy to talk with anyone who has plans, wants t0 donate time or funds, explain, help guide your group, etc.

Christmas is not the time to be self-centered. Spend some time considering different ways to share some Christmas spirit and bless someone else this year. If you need some ideas you can talk with Bro. Darryl or others for ideas. Pray about the options as you make your choice(s).
