Grace and peace be with you all,
Hope that my email to you finds you well this morning. Be sure to stop by this Thursday evening to meet the new Main Street director, Connie Loveland, as well as view her spectacular photography.
Today, November 19th, makes me a little anxious. Can you believe this month is passing so quickly? Fortunately, as a church we get to mark those days with our cycle of life - annual, monthly and weekly. This past Sunday was our 3rd Sunday Fellowship Dinner, a reminder that our month is about halfway over. In another week, we will begin the new church year, on December 1st with the first Sunday in Advent.
A special Hip Hip Hooray! for the Church as we baptized and received into our Fellowship Lavone Bond as a new member. Thanks be to God for promises we make, which remind us of God's own covenant with us!
Sunday's Visitors: We enjoyed the visits from a new couple in town, Joe (Ignacio) and Allison Sosa, who recently moved here from Washington State. They have a long history of church attendance in their past experience, including Presbyterian. They also have lots of close ties to the Lubbock area but are very pleased that they live in New Mexico. Please pray for their discernment as they get situated in Tucumcari! Maybe they'll return to visit again.
Thank you to Kenna for hosting of this past Sunday's dinner. And thanks to all of us for the delicious foods. God is definitely good.
Yoga today is cancelled. We won't have quite enough to make a group today. Let's try next week at noon on Tuesday!
Wednesday and Friday - Exercise, Eat and Pray meets at 10AM. Friday's meeting may depend on other scheduling, since there may be a funeral on that day.
Ron Wilmot: As some of you know, our brother in Christ Ron Wilmot passed away yesterday. Please check our calendar (or call/text 575-708-0860) to see when services will be. You can find our calendar at 1stpreschurchtuc.weebly.com. If we have a meal on the day of his service, our Deacons will be in touch with you. I will have an idea of what to expect by this evening. To say Ron "was a good man and that he'll be missed" would be an understatement.
This past Sunday, I tried to challenge us to remember our membership as part of the Body of Christ. And how important it is that we remember that this is our guide for choosing good over evil, for living a life we would want to have in our obituary. For our baptism is the day we die and rise to new life, belonging to Jesus Christ our Savior. For the story about Dr. Alfred Nobel, of whom I spoke on Sunday, here is the page: Write Your Own Obituary
The Apostle Paul once said, “If we live, we live to the Lord, and if we die, we die to the Lord; so then, whether we live or whether we die, we are the Lord’s.” (Romans 14:8) Thank God!
Friends, I hope that you have a blessed and joyful day.
Much Love,
Amy
