From My Heart
Thank you for your prayers while Karen and I dealt with Covid. I had Covid about this time last Christmas although I had a worse case of it this year. But I am feeling 100% better, and hopefully back to some semblance of normal! I had many calls, texts, and emails letting me know I was being prayed for, and I really appreciate it! I am so thankful for our wonderful church family.
Tonight is our annual Christmas Cantata, at 6:00 pm. Please invite your friends, family, neighbors, and anyone else who comes to mind! It is always a wonderful night of beautiful music and then I will give a Gospel message at the end! Please plan to be here and invite someone to come with you.
Have you been following the Elon Musk, Twitter story? If you watch the mainstream media, you haven’t heard anything about this story! The mainstream media is completely ignoring this story because it shines the light of corruption upon the White House, the Biden Administration, the Democratic National Committee, and the Progressive Liberals in Congress. When will all of this corruption be brought to light? Will there ever come a day of reckoning for those who have done so much harm to our country?
Elon Musk has been releasing the Tweets between the connected parties of Twitter and proving that the claims made by Conservatives were true and that there was intent and collaboration between Twitter executives to silence, cancel, or discredit Conservatives, President Trump, and anyone who disagreed with Progressive Liberals. Musk is continuing to release damaging conversations that are showing collaboration between the Biden Administration and Twitter Executives! Hang on, this one is going to get interesting!
Let me just extend a big “thank you” to all of you who gave to enable the children of those incarcerated in the Carroll County Jail a great Christmas. Your generosity has made a lot of families happy. We were able to take the children Christmas gifts, and also a nice Christmas dinner, and a nice Bible. Each family had their gifts delivered by our soul-winners, and the Gospel was shared with many of these families.
Isn’t that what Christmas is all about? “For God so loved the world that He GAVE.” We all remember the love in our hearts when we were able to give those Christmas gifts that our children wanted when they were young! We were as excited as our children if you remember. It feels good to give to others!
Merry Christmas to you and your family! Have a great day!
Pastor Norris
