Dear Friends in Christ,
We had a beautiful little worship service yesterday. Thank you to Kenna, Robin and Marge for providing some gorgeous bells and harp to continue helping us prepare for the Messiah's birth!
We are very lucky to have the musical talent of our church. More is on the way. Don't forget that there is a "Blue Christmas" service at First Presbyterian this Wednesday, December 23rd at 5:30PM and our Lessons and Carols service will be on Thursday, December 24th at 6:00PM.
Prayers Needed! Please pray for:
Families grieving during this holiday season
Healthcare workers and educators
Betty Ragan and family
Betty Ragan's daughter, Sonia, who is still recovering more than a year after her stroke
Travelers
Derwin Dobbs (son in law of Ronni Wright) - just completing cancer treatment, praying that it worked
Teresa Gallegos - leg pain, awaiting surgical intervention (around Jan 7th)
Glenda Coles - continued multiple health troubles
Ruth Johnson - for her health problems
Dominique Preciado, having a hard time with loss of mom - at request of grandmother, Dora
Pat Sieglen, released from the doctor's care, but still healing from hip surgery
Small Business Owners, trying to remain in business
Persons who are suffering from COVID or the Flu and those who are trying to help them
For hospitals and administrators who need more beds
Those looking for work

If you are interested in reading the article I discussed yesterday, from The Presbyterian Outlook, you can visit this link: Feed the Trolls, Find a Human. In that article, it talks about the power of love to cross over boundaries.
Friends, I hope that as you start your week, that you look out for a chance to cross over a boundary too, using the power of the love of Jesus Christ. If you do, I'd like to hear how that went for you. Please share!
Be safe, be well. God bless you. See you this week in worship!
Love,
Rev. Amy
