Time Flies!

I could not believe that it has been since August that I wrote on this site. Now I understand when I go to other's blog sites and do not find anything new on it week after week. We had a great Christmas with a beautiful cantata performed by our choir under the leadership of Janis Neher. She is a very talented young lady and I appreciate the hard work that she and the choir did to put this all together. Christmas Eve service was a big success with our youth doing the program and the children performing the living nativity. It was nice to see many of our former children coming home with their children. We really do grow up to quickly.
This is a wonderful time of year as we look to the future of 2009 with a new President being inaugurated and a new congress coming in session. This will also be a significant time for the Presbyterian Church USA as we vote on amendment B regarding fidelity in marriage and chastity in singleness. Up to this point only thirteen presbyteries have voted and they are maintaining their historical approach. If that continues, then B will be defeated and the PCUSA will maintain its moral integrity. John Calvin Presbytery will be voting on March 7 and First Presbyterian Church of Monett is hosting the meeting. So we will have a big crowd at this meeting and probably lots of discussion.
Pray for President Obama and our Congress. Pray for the PCUSA. And always remember to pray for the persecuted Christian Church as our brothers and sisters maintain a faithful witness under difficult if not deadly circumstances.
