MEM: Christmas in January

Christmas Dinner Dance 2009
Saturday, January 16, 2010


This annual Marriage Enrichment Ministry event was originally scheduled to take place in the month of December, but Philly was hit with its first major snow storm of the season (20+ inches), so it was postponed until January. This time, the dinner and time of fellowship was held in the church administraton building and, as always, the food was excellent... we've got some people who can really "throw down" in the kitchen! The Word from our Bishop, "How To Balance Church & Marriage", was a timely message and right on point. Other activities included couples games, a ticket-stub drawing (in which me and my wife won a prize), and the main event... dancing with the lights down low. It was a fun-filled romantic evening for couples of all ages and everyone had a great time.

What a wonderful ministry focus. It takes work to make relationships last through time. i'm glad the two of you are focused on staying together "till death" parts you. What joy!!




KEEPING THE FAITH: RANDOM PRAYERS "ON THE DOWNLOAD"

DEAR GOD: When unexpected trouble bursts unbidden and unwanted into my life, give me a patient heart and a sure sense of your care and love. Help me remember that even when life feels unfair, your presence still surrounds and sustains me. The knotted parts of my being are never outside the reach of your touch. Give me faith to surrender my need for fairness, knowing that even in chaos, the eye of heaven is still turned towards me. I ask this for the sake of your love. Amen.
