Christmas Time is Here

Christmas time is here, happiness and cheer.
Fun for all that children call their fav'rite time of year.
Snowflakes in the air, carols everywhere,
Olden times and ancient rhymes of love and dreams to share.

Sleighbells in the air, beauty everywhere
Yuletide by the fireside and joyful memories there.

Christmas time is here, we'll be drawing near
Oh, that we could always see such spirit through the year.

(Lee Mendelson & Vince Guaraldi)

Were you able to sing along with the words? If so...then you've watched your share of "A Charlie Brown Christmas"!

NEWS & PRAYER REQUESTS:

We have been praying for several months for Scott and his part on the Teaching Pastor search team. As you may have heard this past weekend, they have narrowed the search down to one man and he and his wife are quite excited about coming to PRC. Now is not the time to stop praying as there are still many details to be worked out. You won't want to miss December 9th as he will be coming here to speak to our congregation. There will also be a family meeting that evening in the MPV to provide an opportunity to get to know them.

This would fall under the category of "bitter-sweet": The bitter part is that Henrique is being deployed in January. The sweet part is that he'll be coming home to a new baby. That's right...Erika and Henrique are happy to announce that they are expecting their first baby. Congratulations to both of them and please pray for them as they anticipate this time of separation. Also pray for Henrique's safety.

Jonathan & Christine Corbett are praying and waiting on the Lord for the next step in their lives. The Lord has provided a wonderful job for Christine at Compassion International.

VERY IMPORTANT: I DESPERATELY NEED YOUR AVAILABILITIES FOR JANUARY-MARCH. Now is the time that I need to be sending you the schedule for these months and I don't really have anything to go on. Your help with this would be greatly appreciated!

DECEMBER SCHEDULE:

2 Marc, Mark, Arnie Vocals: John, Jonathan, Christine
9 Geof, Chad Vocals: Scott & Shelly
16 Joel, Josh, Doug, Jeremy, Brently Vocals: FULL TEAM
23 Marc & Arnie Vocals: Women's Ensemble

Have a Merry Christmas everyone....and thank you for your service this past year. You have blessed us and our church family!

Scott & Dena
