We had a wonderful worship service this morning -- made extra special by the presence of Jack and Sherry Phillips' visiting family members. We appreciated their daughter Lisa Thurman and grand daughters Eliya and Mikah Phillips who participated in the lighting of the first Advent candle, which represents HOPE. (The lovely Advent wreath was recently donated to the church, so this was the first time it made its debut!)
--------------------------------
As always, we appreciate the special touch that Gloria Odom gives to the communion table, helping us all to visualize the meaning of the Scriptures that are read that day.
---------------------------------
At the nearby convalescent center, we read Scriptures, sang hymns and talked about the Advent wreath's first candle of "hope." We improvised with a felt Advent wreath and placed it over a pumpkin (to give it some lift... so others could see it better). It might just be the first-ever Advent Pumpkin Wreath. Hey, we're making history right here in McCamey, Texas: Yee-haw! (And thanks so much, Mike and Cytha: Your musical offerings were so very much appreciated!)
