RAY’S REMARKS:
Happy holidays to you and yours! I hope you all are having a great week and I hope you are ready for the next few to come. This is such a wonderful time of the year to spend with family and friends. I hope we all make the most of this holiday season. Last weekend was a huge success. Over 30 holiday baskets were made and delivered to encourage those of our congregation who are unable to be with us on a regular basis. Also, on Saturday afternoon, we had 13 children come for the parents’ day out get- together. Thanks to all who helped with the baskets and all those who babysat the children. Please don’t forget that this weekend we have some holiday parties coming up for the Adults in our congregation. I look forward to seeing many of you this Friday or Saturday in our home for one of these parties. We always enjoy having our church family in our home every Christmas. Cindy and I hope that you all will make it to at least one of our parties. It’s really hard to believe that next week is Christmas. No matter how old you get it is still exciting to see the joy of my kids and to spend time with my family. We all are so blessed with the things of this life. I hope we remember this holiday season just how much God has given to each and every one of us. Everything at the BIM is going well. I know the brothers are ready for a short break over the holidays. Our second year guys have really had some tough quarters lately and are really being challenged in their studies. Anyway, this quarter ends only a week after the holidays, so I know they are ready to get through this quarter and on to the next. Also brother Cory is doing great in his studies. We are proud of all of our students. Please keep them all in your prayers as they continue taking classes and preparing for the great work of preaching. Please keep all of those in your daily prayers who are facing a variety of trials of life. Especially sister Retha and Janet as they will be having surgeries next week. Also remember those who are still recovering from surgery and those who are facing other health trials. We know that God always cares for His own and will always take care of His children. Again I look forward to seeing you all at our home on Friday or Saturday. I also look forward to this coming Lord’s Day. What a blessing it will be to gather as God’s people and to worship Him on His day. May God bless us all as we accomplish His Perfect Will. *Ray Sullins*
