Dear Friends in Christ,
I hope that your holidays are brimming with God's blessings! Thank you all for your cards and gifts.
I am pretty "bushed" after our busy time together this weekend. A nice nap is in order for this day, as I rest up on this Monday "Sabbath."
Elders: Please remember to get your reports to Sharon Huffman for the Annual Report. We hope to have a Session meeting on Sunday, January 9th at 9:30AM.
This week's schedule is iffy, and depends a lot on how busy people are. Please call me at 575-708-0860 on Tuesday to find out whether the exercise groups are meeting
Today, I will be observing a day of rest.
Today, Wednesday and Friday at 10AM, there might be Exercise, Eat and Pray.
We MIGHT have yoga at noon on Tuesday, if our usual suspects are available...
Wednesday: Bible Study - we might finish up James before the end of the year!
Friday is New Year's Eve!
Saturday: Happy 2022!
Sunday: Holy Communion Sunday - a great way to kick off 2022.
Quite a lot of Prayers were raised yesterday:
Alex Galvan – COVID infection, in hospital on respirator
Amy (Glenna Gray’s daughter) chronic medical issues
Betty (Alzheimer’s) and Dolores (paralyzed) – Glenda’s sisters
Dennis Hendron Family
Elmer Schuster - leg pain
Ernest (Susie’s uncle) - cancer
Fay Birch – stage 4 cancer
Glenda Coles – awaiting shoulder surgery
Iola Allender – at loss of her son
Jimmy Bourkis Family (I am not sure of the spelling of his name.)
Laro McKenzie and Family - ill
Lucy Jasper – Alzheimer’s/Dementia
Lydia Ebell - has been sick for a few weeks
Misty Tompkins and family – stiff person syndrome, seeking experimental treatment
Nick Garcia Family
People seeking jobs, and people seeking employees
Ruth Johnson – for general health
Sarah Hittson's daughter Marie – surgery for chronic problems
Schools, students, teachers and families for when the return from break
Sharon and Wayne Huffman – general health
Shay – Julie Sursa’s daughter
Silas' family's grief at his death (we don't know the last name, but he was a young boy)
Susie Martinez - needing a larger apartment
Tommy Morris – for health and strength
Travelers
All those suffering from COVID19
It seems like the list never stays short. There has been a lot of loss and anxiety in the past 2 years. It is hard for me to believe I had COVID a year ago, and a few of you have had it since. Let us count our blessings as we prepare to move into 2022. I look back on 2021 and have to thank our Lord for all the good things, even some of the hard things that have been important life lessons. But, I also want - with God's help and your - to make 2022 a stellar year!
God bless you and keep you this week, and make sure you are safe this New Year's Eve.
Hugs!
