Dear Partners in Ministry,
We made it! Despite a lead-up full of illness and other craziness, we had a wonderful Christmas weekend. THANK YOU, however you contributed, to making these celebrations so welcoming and beautiful for all those who gathered to worship with us. And buckle up: next year, Christmas is on Monday, so that weekend will be a doozy!
Please keep Art and Marilyn in your prayers. No further news at this time; if I have anything to share later I'll edit this post.
As mentioned last week, no rehearsal tomorrow; I'll be back in the office tomorrow and will see you this weekend. Love to you all!
