Candelight Service


The Sunday evening before Christmas day, our church ends the evening worship time with a time of singing hymns in candlelight.  This past Sunday was no different.  


The moon was out along with some stars and clouds.







We began by singing some hymns in the regular light.


And then we lined up to pick up a candle for singing in the dark.


The sanctuary got dimmer

and dimmer.

Finally, only the area behind the chancel was lit.


Carefully, we held our candles and sang a capella.









After the special time of singing, we were directed to the nicely decorated fellowship hall to eat.
















The pulled pork was delicious.


It was a not a night for dieting.  







A warm and fuzzy evening indeed.

Baptismal Party

      This past Sunday was a special time for the Spanish church in which my husband ministers.  Little Eddy Jr. was baptized, receiving the sign and seal of God's special favor upon him.  What a precious thing that Jesus asks that the little children of believers to come to Him.  He was displeased and even indignant, as some translations call it, when he discovered His disciples forbade the parents of these children from bringing their children to Him.  After He corrected them, He pronounced the Kingdom of God as belonging to these little ones and proceeded to hold them in His arms as we read in Mark 10:14.  Jesus indeed loves the little children of His flock.  Glory be to God for such loving kindness and mercy.  And felicidades a Eddy y Verito por su precioso nino. 
Lots of good food: tamales!!!!
 

Love and laughter overflowed...




 

Children everywhere...(for those of you who are curious--my baby was asleep for 3 hours in his room while the eldest was sick and sequestered in her room :-( )
