We have enjoyed so many things together as a church family this season!

– Visitors to church on a regular basis! We have two local families each with a 1 year old attending (found us online). Friends of church members attending who need a local church and some work contact friends attending here and there. Our busiest day was Christmas Sunday Dinner celebration on the 10th with over 60 in attendance.

-A baby shower was hosted at our church by a church member. Over 23 local ladies attended who had never been in our church and loved the hospitality shown and the comfort of the building.

-Our Election of Officers brought in two new deacons to serve along with Kurt H (answer to prayer)!

– Some extras included meeting up at Mechanic’s Hall for the Navy Christmas Band and our kids’ Christmas celebration focused on the Nativity.

-Lucy Panzanella had successful knee replacement surgery. They came over from Italy to be with Marco and family to get her knee done. It’s been a good time for the family to be together as Marco’s parents are in their 80’s and don’t get here much anymore. Pray for them as they need Jesus as their personal Savior.

-Around all of this our family has celebrated birthdays and Anniversaries. Our grandchildren and families have experienced a lot of the colds and viruses (RSV) going around and other medical emergencies. It never seems to be a quiet moment. Please pray for our families.

–Someone is turning 60 on Friday and it’s not me! We are hosting an open house for people to come and go and celebrate with us. Pray for this time of celebration and outreach and for Roy as he continues to serve the Lord and his family so well.

-On Sunday we host a special Christmas Eve Candlelight service and expect it to be a good outreach as well.
