Choir Christmas Performance

Dee — Thu, 18 Dec 2008 05:15:13 +0000

This past Sunday (December 14, 2008), the choir held a portion of a musical during the Sunday morning service. Much thanks to all those who put time and effort into the program – the choir members, director, musicians, technicians, etc. It was so much fun to be involved with this with you all. And, tomorrow we will be having our Choir’s Christmas Party. I look forward to seeing you all, again.

Christmas is my most favorite time of the year. Probably because I get to see all of my family, who I miss so much during the year (and my mom’s cooking is the best). But, it just seems like there is something wonderful about Christmas that is not there during other seasons of the year. Maybe it’s the decorations, or the joy that shows on the faces of so many people, or the music . . . Anyway, that’s what I was reminded of while singing Sunday. I was reminded of all of the blessings God has given us. He gave us family and friends and this wonderful holiday and his precious son to save us.

ACOG Youth

Wonder what’s going on in the youth and children’s department? Well . . . This is an exciting time of the year for us, as we are working on our Christmas play. We have been practicing every Wednesday evening (and will be practicing this Sunday night in lieu of The Attik). If you do not have a part in the Christmas play, please come anyway, as there will be a class held for you.

We will be performing the play on Sunday morning, December 21. Please come and see all of our youth and children perform – they have worked very hard. Today (Saturday, December 6) our kids actually performed their play during the Alabaster Christmas Parade. While it was a little cold, they had a wonderful time.

We are so thankful for all our kids and their enthusiasm. Thanks also to the parents who are always so willing to help with the kids.

ACOG Ladies Christmas Party Report

Dee — Sun, 07 Dec 2008 00:08:35 +0000

Yesterday evening, the ladies ministry had their Christmas party, and what a wonderful party is was! I am relatively new to ACOG, so this was my first Christmas Party with the ladies, and I was so impressed. Different ladies in the church decorated the tables, and they were beautiful. Nancy Massey decorated the Christmas tree (with some help from some ladies in the church). And the food – we could have fed twice the people we had, and we had around 40 ladies.

It was so much fun spending time with the ladies from the church. There was a devotion by Charlotte Ward and song by Jamie Fincher. We played the left/right game with presents, and we had a lot of fun.

Thank you to all those ladies who participated in and planned the Christmas Party. It was an overwhelming success!
