Dear Trinity Baptist Church Family, The angel told the shepherds, “Fear not!” I for one would have been greatly terrified. The silence and dark was interrupted by a being standing before them in the glory of God. He then announced incredible news and was joined by a multitude of heavenly beings who praised God. It was all quite amazing. Sometimes I wonder which I fear more, this life in which I muddle through day by day that I know will eventually kill me or the glory and wonder of God revealing Himself to me. One I know and have learned to handle. The second is beyond my comprehension and understood only by faith. The shepherds responded in believe to the wonder of it all. Oh may I not try to figure it all out but respond in faith.

Jean W was admitted to the hospital on Wednesday. She is being treated with strong antibiotics for an infection that has made her weak for a couple of weeks. Pray for wisdom for the doctors and healing for Jean. 

Continue to pray for grace in their grief for these families: Shell, Jones, Ryan, Lober, Martin, Oberholtzer (Leeds).

A young adult Bible study will be held tonight, Friday, at the Braker home at 7:00 p.m.

Men’s Prayer breakfast is at 8:00 a.m. at church Saturday (tomorrow) morning. If you would like to add your name to the list, contact me ASAP!

The Ladies’ Christmas Party is at the parsonage at 10:00 a.m. tomorrow (Saturday) morning. Bring some goodies and be ready for a fun time of fellowship. Secret Pal revelations will be made as well as opportunity to sign up for the coming year. You don’t have to be a part of the Secret Pal exchange to attend. 

Pray for one another. Pray for our country and its leaders. Pray for a spirit of repentance to grow in our country. Pray for our church to respond obediently to God’s Word.

As I come to this part of the week, my heart turns more and more to the preaching of the Lord’s Day. Will you pray with me that my words reflect the Word and will of God?

Embracing Truth, Pastor
