A Moment with the Pastor
Christmas is almost here!
We’ve been celebrating for the
past three and a half weeks. The
time has come to say, “Happy
Birthday, Jesus.” I never tire of
hearing the story of Christmas and
singing the Christmas carols this
time of the year. It truly is The Most Wonderful Time of
the Year.
Arlinda and I thank you for the many cards, pictures,
and gifts you have shared with us this season.
You are a precious and loving church family. We wish
you a very Merry Christmas and the happiest of New
Years.

From the Desk of the Senior Adult Minister
I would like to wish everyone
a blessed Christmas
and to say thank you. My
family and I count it a great
honor to serve in such a
loving church. All year long
we receive notes and comments
of kindness and encouragement. Words can not
express how timely and appreciated they are. It is truly
more blessed to give than receive, but thank you FBC for
the many blessings we receive. Merry Christmas!
