During worship this morning, Mr. Harold shared a poem he wrote when he was 90 years old. Below is the the text of the poem, which was a blessing to the entire church.

Though I’m over the hill,
I’m on my way up
The Lord paid the price
when He drank the cup.
Youthful days, they are past.
My eyes have grown dim,
But Christ points the way,
and I’m trusting in Him.
Now each step I take
as time seems to fly,
I’m nearer, yes nearer,
to my home up On High;
And then some sweet day
when I reach my new home
I’ll join with God’s children
as we sing ’round His throne.

The service will begin at 6:00pm and will last one hour.

In preparation for this wonderful Christmas service, we are doing the “Share the Good News of Christmas.”

This is a strategic way to involve many of the people around us who may not come otherwise. We will be giving out nice Christmas gift bags that include an invitation to this very meaningful service.

If you have never been a part of a Candlelight Service, then we encourage you to come. It will be such a blessing. There is something so special about being in a sanctuary with the lights off but being lit up by all the candles that each person is holding. As one of our members said last year following the service, “I believe this is the best thing I have ever seen our church do.”

This year’s service will have a special touch to it. Our new Worship Pastor Cody Libolt will be leading our Choir in several Christmas songs. We are looking forward to that addition to the service. The service will consist of prayer, scripture reading, singing, and a short message on “the Good News of Christmas.”

We hope to see you there!
