Hello,

We are gearing up for our Christmas program next Sunday.  We will have the children do a play Sunday morning, when we invite the parents of the kids.  Last year over 10 parents came, which is more than ever before.  We hope and pray for a good turn-out this year also.  In the evening we will have several special songs, vocal and instrumental.  We pray for many of our friends and relatives to come out.

We have been averaging a total attendance of 50 on Sundays, which is an increase from the past.  I am especially happy with the teens lately.  We have been giving them opportunity to give testimonies on Sundays, and it has been a blessing to hear what God is doing in their lives.  We baptized three teen boys last Sunday.

God blessed us with a good van a couple of weeks ago.  The majority of the vehicles for sale here are at least 10 years old, so a vehicle with low miles is rare.  But the van we got has very low miles and is in great shape.  What a blessing after putting up with wore-out vehicles for the past several years.
