O Come Let Us Adore Him

[Tom Walsh]

Prescott Church friends:

 

In an effort to clear the decks for our Christmas celebration and to focus on the reason for the season, we're postponing some business-type meetings that had been set for this month.  So contrary to prior announcements:  

 

Neither the Worship Committee nor the Church Council will meet this coming Saturday, and there will be no congregational meeting this coming Sunday evening.

Other things haven't changed.  For example:

 

The choir will continue to practice for its 12/20 Christmas Cantata (with rehearsals at 5:00 p.m. on Sunday the 13th and at 9:30 a.m. on Saturday the 19th).

 

Students in Gr. 6-12 will have Youth Game Night at the church this Saturday the 12th.

 

We'll host Saturday Supper to feed the hungry of our community on Dec. 19.  

 

The children and youth will present their Christmas play in worship this Sunday, the 13th, and the choir will perform Sunday the 20th.  Please invite friends and family for these special celebrations the next two Sundays.

 

We'll celebrate Christmas Eve Candlelight Communion on Thursday the 24th at 6:00 p.m.

CHURCH FAMILY SUPPORTS EACH OTHER

 

One great benefit of belonging to a church family is the way we share our gifts and celebrate each other's gifts and company.

 

Last week our pastor and about a dozen other Prescott folks formed a fan club to go see Colin Baker, 11-year-old son of Angela and Maxine and brother of Chloe, in a midweek performance of Appling Middle School's fabulous production of the musical Grease.  Colin was amazing in the role of Eugene the nerd.  He just about stole the show, earning a huge ovation at the end.

 

Last night another sizable Prescott contingent went to support church organist/pianist Jody Carroll McClendon and her River City Band at their annual Christmas concert.  A musician of protean abilities, Jody plays the timpani (kettledrums) in the band.  As always, the band gave a bright and festive performance that included many Christmas favorites.  As they say, a good time was had by all.

 

Finally, we have enjoyed seeing some special folks from out of town in our worship services lately.  For example, Sunday before last we welcomed members of the Dyer family from Australia, long-time friends of our church.  This past Sunday we were delighted to see Rex and Nan Enoch, long of Prescott/Heifer Int'l fame, who came over from Little Rock to worship with us.  For the remaining Sundays of December, we anticipate seeing in our worship services some familiar loved ones from distant places.
