CHRISTMAS SERVICE AND BANQUET

We enjoyed a great time of worship and celebrating the birth of our Savior at Waverly CGP today. There were more visitors today, either first time or haven't been in a long time, (I counted 6) for which we thank and praise the Lord. There were seven children present and 19 adults. We are thanking and praising the Lord for increase in attendance and in our desire to worship the Lord and reach out to others.

Our version of the Nativity.

We enjoyed the fellowship and the food. The Christmas banquet was great. Thanks to all who helped make the day a great success. We were also blessed to have our next door neighbor, Mr. Huey (whose wife died just before Thanksgiving) who came over and shared in our dessert.

Did I say we enjoyed the food? This is only part of the food. The dessert was on another table.

CHRISTMAS SERVICE AND BANQUET

Tomorrow, Sunday, December 13 is our Christmas Service Celebration of the Birth of Christ and our Christmas Banquet immediately after in the dining hall.

We welcome one and all to this special time to celebrate the birth of Baby Jesus the incarnate Son of God.

Karen and I just learned of a death and requests prayer for the family of Margaret Harper who died yesterday evening late. She is a member of the Waverly Church of God of Prophecy and will be interred at Humphreys County Funeral Home.

Humphreys County Funeral Home: Visitation is Wed. December 9 from 11 am to close and on Thur. Dec. 10 from 10 am until the funeral at 2 pm with Pastor Jamie Grishom officiating.

Karen and I enjoyed being with our youngest daughter's family (Sarah Parker) for the dedication of their baby son, Davyd Zaiden Parker, at the Church of God of Prophecy, Old Hickory, TN. The folks at Waverly were very kind to understand our need to be with our family. Sarah asked us to dedicate baby Zaiden and it was a joy.

Special thanks to Bishop E. C. Kephart for filling the pulpit at Waverly for us.
