Super Cold Caroling was Super

Thanks to all who came out to carol this weekend. We caroled with the youthies and their families on Saturday night and that was great. I think the folks that we caroled to really enjoyed the carols and next time we will either not sing Ring the Bells or we will practice it beforehand. So thank you very much for getting out in the cold and spreading some Christmas joy to folks from our church who can't be with us every week at our worship services. It was a great time.

And of course it was a great time afterwards when we had some good food and a warm place to meet and even some good laughs around the karaoke machine and playing games and exchanging ornaments. It was a long night...but it was a super fun night too! So thanks.

And then we sang some more on Sunday night at the church wide caroling event. And if you thought it was cold Saturday, you missed out on what cold was all about. This time we were walking and not driving and by the time we got to the third or fourth house I couldn't feel my face anymore. So hopefully my mouth was moving and carols were coming out of my mouth. But we also had a great time Sunday night caroling to our neighbors close by the church and passing out calendars (great job Becca passing out the calendars). It is very important for us to be a testimony to our neighbors and minister to them as often as we can. Who knows what impact passing out a calendar, a note, and a gospel tract might have on someone's life. At least we have given them an opportunity to read and hear the gospel. And that is the most important thing of all. Not that we are cold or tired...but that we share the good news of Jesus Christ with others. So thanks to all who came out for that.

And today...well it is even colder today. So nice and sunny as you look out the window...so freezing cold when you walk outside. Hey, its not even really winter yet. Its still fall. Maybe this will be a warm day in a couple of months. BURRRRR!!!
