Truth produces peace...

 

Here are some of the scriptures God is highlighting for me today. Blessings, Jax

“Yours, O LORD, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the majesty and the splendor, for everything in heaven and earth is yours. Yours, O LORD, is the kingdom; you are exalted as head over all.” - 1Chronicles 29:11

Jesus said, "If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free." - John 8:31b, 32

For he himself [Jesus] is our peace, who has made the two one and has destroyed the barrier, the dividing wall of hostility, - Ephesians 2:14

Happy New Year 2009!

Dear Faithful Friends,

I hope you had a wonderful Christmas celebrating the best gift that was ever given! And it is such a blessing to me to know that you share this gift every week with us here at Faith.

Thank you for your loving service to Jesus this past year. May God bless and strenghthen you in 2009 to touch more lives for eternity with His love. And may He be your Prince of Peace again this new year.

Much love,

Jackie E.

Jingle Jam!

 

 

 

 

Friday Night's Christmas Program was a wonderful evening. The best part for me was watching our little toddlers and preschoolers perform their sweet little songs about baby Jesus. There were around 400 + in attendance and it was a really fun event. After our preschoolers went back and sat with their parents, the elementary singers and dancers performed as well as the adult actors that did skits, etc. They all did a great job. After the program was done, everyone was invited to the Fellowship Hall to visit, eat yummy peppermint flavored cookies (by Chef Vern from the UAA Culinary School), decorate them with colored icing (which most of the children opted to do of course), and sip hot cocoa, hot cider or refreshing water. We ordered 900 cookies and all but maybe 150 - 200 were consumed. The others we are saving for next Friday's event - Parent's Night Out. It was a night full of joy! Thanks to all who helped make it so!

Blessings, Jackie

P.S. Thanks Barb K. for the pictures! And I'm so glad you were able to be there!

Jingle Jam is Here!

All preschool volunteers are invited to our Children's Christmas celebration Friday night, December 5th, 7:00 p.m. Our very own preschoolers will be the opening act (and the best part of the show in my totally biased opinion)! You won't want to miss their special songs and the kindergarten bell choir. Then sit back and enjoy the Jingle Jammers, followed by fellowship, hot cocoa and cookies to round out this festive evening.

Joyfully, Jackie

P.S. A big thank you to the volunteers that have helped our kids practice. Also, a big thank you to Bob & Cindy A. and Susan F. for leading the singers and to Rachel W. for leading the bell choir!

Happy Thanksgiving! I am thankful for YOU!

I thank my God every time I remember you. In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now, being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus. -Phil. 1:3-6

Love,

Jackie
