“With every prayer and request, pray at all times in the Spirit, and stay alert in this, with all perseverance and intercession for all the saints.” (Ephesians 6:18)
CHRISTMAS IN AUGUST
Our Christmas in August party was great! Mike and Marcella have a beautiful home with a large yard, the even rented a tent for us to sit under outside. Although there were not very many people there, the ones that were had a great time of fellowship and there was enough food for an army, so we ate well. After the food and fellowship we moved inside where we celebrated Audra’s birthday with a birthday cake and dessert and coffee, and listened to this years Christmas program which was very well received by everyone that was there. I want to thank all of those who attended for taking time out of your busy schedule to participate. Those that were there were able to pick-up their books and rehearsal C.D.’s, but for all of those that were not there the books and C.D.’s are available for pick-up in the choir room at your convenience.

CHRISTMAS EVE CELEBRATION
This year we will be celebrating 15 years of service to our church and community through our annual Christmas Eve Celebration. Many people have told me that it doesn’t feel like Christmas unless they come to our program. I think that speaks well of us, and it makes me proud to be part of such a ministry. This year we are inviting all past, present and future choir members to come help us mark this milestone event. Another words anyone who has ever sung in the choir, or who has ever wanted too is welcome to come sing with us during this program. This years program “Noel, Night of Everlasting Love” is a more traditional program with beautiful arrangements of all the favorite traditional Christmas music. It will be one that everyone will love and feel very comfortable singing. S0 let this be the first invitation to all who read this to come and sing with us. Work begins on Sunday evening September 7 at 6:00 pm.
