Beginning to feel like Christmas or does the end of November signal its time for parties, get togethers with dinners, gifts and good will and wishing each other Merry Christmas.
Womens Ministry with Secret Sisters celebrated their year end with six ladies participating in a Master Chef style dinner.
Each one helped put together vegetarian hambugers and all its trimmings, with dessert, and a Poinsetta Drink~pommegranite juice, crabapple juice with cloves, orange juice and seven up!! Of course with a lime on top. it was actually very good.
Before the meal we had a small worship and then the meal. After there was a book exchange and a gift exchange. Selection readings from the books we received was kind of forgotten as it was getting quite late, we dived into the task of cleaning up. sorry ....i didnt get a picture of the books, perhaps you could put a note on the comments and say what you got.
Very nice for everyone who came and enjoyed the time together again, Each one took home a couple roses and two of the red plaid tea towels.
Below are the recipies and worship readings along with a couple you tube videos. Enjoy and have a very MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR.
1st Peter 1
3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 4 To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you, 5 Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. 6 Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations: 7 That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ: 8 Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory: 9 Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls.
21 Who by him do believe in God, that raised him up from the dead, and gave him glory; that your faith and hope might be in God.
Last night i watched a couple you tube videos about Secret Millionaires! My favorite was a selfmade millionaire who rented office buildings for a living and organized different things with in them. He and his son decided to visit the poorest part of a city and disguised themselves the best way they could and mingled with the people who were from all sorts of walks in life trying to make a living and surviving among that type of people.
They found in the end that they loved the people, some really good heart in them , people who were trying to make a difference in their community. They found it very hard to leave because instead of being rich with parties and not knowing their neighbours they were barred up like some of the people they met who were behind real bars!!
It was also a test with father and son relationship where the father had to let go and let the son grow up and make decisions. They both did very well and in the end the worthy people got their gifts of reward for their contributions to fellow people.
They may not have believed in God, i dont know it didnt say, but it was a good comparison what our relationship is with God and what you do in your community and homes.
