	A Holy Christmas to all!

“Merry Christmas.” To be merry is to be happy, jaunty, and ready to frolic. Is this what your Christmas is all about?	We have said it for years, but what is the connotation? Is it for us to be happy and ready to play?


Don’t get me wrong. Christmas is a time for Joy, peace, fun, excitement and everything the smell of pine and the decorations and lights bring. Families get together, eating hearty meals. We roast a turkey every year. All those things come together for a wonderful Christmas. I just want to point out that we do not forget but remember that it is a Holy Christmas – “Dedicated to religious use; belonging to or coming from God” It is also a time to reflect that God became man. That is not a cliche, but it is a reason for the season and a reason to give careful remembrance of what he sacrificed so that we may be saved.I have seen signs on some Churches that read, “Closed on Christmas”. That is the state of non-believers, but as believers we need to celebrate with the one who made Christmas possible. Have a Holy Christmas! Happy Thanksgiving! We are thankful for so many blessings from God. Especially how he uses the generosity of our supporters to meet the needs of the Church. Two days ago, we received an upright piano for the Church. I was happy with the keyboard, but our musicians were thrilled. It will be an old-fashioned service this Sunday as we listen to the piano being played. She also donated an exercise bike and a bag of shoes. We will be giving out food packs once again to our neighbors, courtesy of our friends in Canada. We have a new young lady (8 years old) at PBC. She started coming after attending our VBS 2023. She is very faithful, is learning the recorder and will be receiving p100 and a jollibee meal for being an improved student. 89 and up! Please pray for our Christmas Celebration for 100 kids. We received all the money needed, but the big thing is the kids should receive the word of God as it is preached to them. Pray for these kids please. It will be held on December 9th at 9a.m. On December 17 we will be having our 4th Christmas Cantata. Pray for the musicians, the choir and those who will hear the word. All our ministries continue, especially door knocking, feeding, along with education, visitation, music and more. All glory belongs to God! Once again, thanks to all who heard God and responded by supporting this ministry. We pray for His blessing to be upon you. _____________________________________________________________________________
