A Season of Joy

Event Details

We are entering into the Christmas season, a time in which we celebrate with joy, the birth of our Savior! I would like us to spend some time reflecting on the Joy of the Lord, all that He does to bring joy into our lives, and ways that we can bring joy to others. I believe that focusing on joy is a key component to our overall spiritual, mental and physical health, and hope that you all will join us!

Dion Todd Just FYI: The A/C has died in our datacenter room and the servers internal temps are reaching into the 170s. We are going to have to do something immediately so the site will be down for a while this afternoon. Be blessed and see you on the other side!

Attending
Sylvia Todd (owner) Hey everyone! Just an updated, we are still waiting on the electrician to arrive, so the website of course is still up ;). If/when he makes it, guess that means the site will be down from late afternoon into the evening instead. Appreciate your patience and prayers! (L)

Bethjane Pomeroy I cling to Jesus with every fiber of my being because He is unfailing, He is absolute, He is steadfast and His grace is deeper and wider than my imagination can even fathom. In Him and Him alone is where I’ve discovered a hope more bright and beautiful than words can possibly describe. —Adam Young

Attending
Karen Pietrantonio Hello everyone! I'm sorry it's been so long since I posted; as we all know, life happens and sometimes it's just a flurry of activity, stress, or busy-ness! And here we are - 12 days before Christmas, and I don't even have all the decorations put up. No baking done, and struggling to find a place to make time for it all. Thank you, everyone, for being an active presence, and for all the prayers and love y'all send our way. Much love to you all!

Attending
Camille Grayson Thank you everyone for the birthday wishes it has been great fun. God is great.

Ruth Martin I've been very lost for the last few months. . .medical problems both physical and mental, spiritual rut because I can't seem to accept that He loves me no matter what, also because my past failures have been brought up by various people and the pain is so strong still.

Attending
Carol Pady Prayer Devotional for the Day Dear heavenly Father, I am thankful for the variety of the many foods You created for us to enjoy. I do appreciate all the wonderful things You made for us to eat and enjoy. Lord, give us wisdom in the area of eating. Forgive us for partaking in any form of gluttony. Lord, help us to eat in moderation and deliver us from any lust and addiction to food. Help all of Your people who are struggling with being overweight to overcome in this area. Correct our appetites so that we do not desire those things that are bad for us, and help us not to over-indulge in food and drink. Give us strength to resist the temptation to continue eating more than we need. May You be "Lord of the Fork" in my life. I ask in the name of Jesus. Amen. Betty Miller

Teresa Bridges Resurrection He has risen! He has risen! Sing songs of joy because he has given us a reason! To dance and sing and praise to all the nations, Jesus is alive! HALLELUJAH AND AMEN! He foretold that he would rebuild the temple on the 3rd day The Pharisees and nonbelievers tried to refute all Jesus had to say they brutalized him and nailed him to the cross and in the end they found it was their loss when the heavens opened up and cried when our Savior gave up the Ghost and died. Jesus conquered death and conquered the grave Proving truth to the words and lessons he gave. And when he arose again he gave us a hope that will never go away His Father’s love and his grace will forever stay! He has risen, He has risen! His death paid for all of our sins and his resurrection gave us freedom and victory over life and death so we can truly be free!!!! © Teresa Bridges HAPPY RESURRECTION DAY TO ALL!
