- People worked for weeks for the opportunity to give their friends and community a chance to hear for the first time the real meaning of Christmas. It is pretty much a given that anyone who comes will have never heard before, so thank you for praying this day would be special for many.
- Christmas services went really well. I was really proud of everyone how they really took ownership of it and invited their friends.
- With nothing out of my pocket, the church got together to get all kinds of gifts and prizes together to give out to the community and make it a special day.
- We planned a “Christmas Trivia” game for after the service, but no one knows anything about Christmas, so we posted little tidbits about Christmas all over the church and had people come to register early and go around to study the questions first.
- It was neat to see everyone going around and learning so much about the Christmas story and the Gospel even before things started. They were taking pictures and studying. In the end, I think everyone had a lot of fun and got about 4 hours of Gospel!
- Praise the Lord for this team of people that did the bulk of the work!
- Lots of preparation, decoration, inviting, singing, and going door to door went into the day.

- Here are a few pictures from the service. In total, we had about 81 people come for Sunday’s service. Praise the Lord for that!
It is so awesome when God’s church catches the joy of sharing the gospel. Continuing to pray for all of you. Love, Aunt Diane E.
