Ok gang, if you are in the area this Sunday, I will be presenting a Christmas concert at Bethel Baptist Church here in Enterprise at 10 a.m.  Now, I haven’t broadcast this event for Hillcrest because I didn’t want to pull my friends out of church but if you feel led, I would love for you to join us.  The pastor is a lay preacher originally out of our church and has labored for over 2 years, without pay, to reach and motivate this struggling church.  The church has somewhat of a history in poor treatment of pastors and this has manifested itself once again.  After a word study, there was a “leader” in the church that, through ignorance, claimed blasphemy.  Steamed built, again through ignorance and vacuum of the soul, and he has been asked to leave.  This Sunday will be his last Sunday so I would love to feel the place with a true spirit of worship and prayer as we celebrate The Gift.

Patty’s dad is doing ok.  The weight is about the same and he’s experiencing more consistent aches and pains that mostly come from age but are making him a bit more uncomfortable.  You know how things sometime magnify when you’re alone.  Just pray for his comfort and that those who have called or stopped by in the recent past will not forget to do so again in the midst of the hustle and bustle.

We rejoice and praise the Lord for you and your faithfulness in support and prayer!  Look forward to seeing you Sunday, Bethel Bpt, at 10 a.m.

Blessings,
John
