Hello Friends! Happy New Year! Can you believe that we have said good-bye to another year and said hello to a new year? I can’t believe it….It feels like just yesterday I was welcoming a year that took place last century. Where does time go? Did you stay up past 12:00AM to see the new year arrive? I usually like to try to stay up so I can say that I have been awake for two years straight! Anyways, do you know what people like to do at the start of every......

Hello Friends! Did you all have a wonderful Christmas? Did Santa Claus come and visit you? Did you get everything that was on your list? This Christmas was a little different for me this year: instead of waking up and seeing my mother in the kitchen and my father on the couch drinking coffee and a blanket of snow covering the ground, I woke up to an empty house, to my bird, Charlie, cooing, and to a green Christmas that we 65 degrees. Although this Christmas was different, I still got to......

Hello Friends! Christmas is less than a week away! I can’t hardly wait! It seems like we have been preparing for this day for so long…. As a church we have been preparing for Christmas for four weeks! During this time we have decorated the church, had a soup supper, sang carols, had a Grinch party and watched How the Grinch Stole Christmas, and we even had a gift exchange! The church has been busy preparing for the birth of Jesus not only for itself, but it has been helping others prepare......

Hello Frineds! Can you believe that Christmas is less than two weeks away? I am sure by now that your Christmas list is done and that you are eagerly waiting for Santa Claus to come. Maybe this is your last week of school before you get a couple of weeks off. Maybe your parents are watching you extra close to make sure that you are being extra nice these days. With everything going on–helping wrap gifts, putting up the Christmas lights, decorating the Christmas tree, and maybe decorating some Christmas cookies–have you......

Hello Friends! I can’t believe that Christmas is just a few weeks away! Have you all made a Christmas list yet? Every year around this time, I help my parents decorate for Christmas: we put up the Christmas tree, find the ornaments, hang Christmas lights on the house, put miniature santas everywhere, and wrap presents as we drink hot chocolate! It is truly a wonderful time of year! One of my jobs, besides helping with everything else that I mentioned, is to place my mom’s antique santas on top of our living......

Hello Friends, Did you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving? Did you eat a lot of food? Did you spend time with family and friends? Did you watch the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade and see all the big balloons and hear all the bands? I ate lots of food on Thanksgiving, travelled back home to spend time with family and friends, and then went Christmas shopping! I did not get to watch the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, though, because I was running around with my family before we went to my Grandmother’s house......

Hello Friends, I was thinking the other day how tough it is to give thanks when something goes wrong. How can I give thanks when something doesn’t make me happy? How can I give thanks when I lose my toy? How can I give thanks when I get a bad grade on a test? How can I give thanks when I get sent to time out? How can I give thanks when I get bucked off a horse? How can I give thanks when my friend is sick, when my brothers and......

Hello Friends! Just a couple of days ago, we celebrated a specific holiday that honors all those who have served our country. They either served in the Army, Navy, Air Force, Coast Guard, Marine Corps, or Space Force. For some of us, we get the day off of school to celebrate this holiday and our parents get the day off as well. Do you know the name of the holiday we just celebrated? That’s right! Veterans Day! I was doing some research on Veterans Day and this is what I found out:......

Hello Friends! Can I share something with you? Nobody else knows this about me. But while growing up, I never liked brushing my teeth. I used to put my toothbrush under the faucet with the running water to convince my parents that I brushed my teethe. When they went to the bathroom to check my toothbrush, it would be wet like it would be when I actually brushed my teeth. There was something about getting the toothpaste out of the cupboard, getting my toothbrush out of the cup, putting the toothpaste on......

Hello Friends, Do you remember what we talked about last week? Let me give you some hints: there was a tool box, some tools, a Bible, and a flashlight….That’s right! We talked about how God provides us with the right tools so that we can let His light shine. And this light is not just for us, but it is a light that is meant for everyone. Well today, we are going to talk about something that might cause our light to go out. You might be thinking Satan. But there is......
