We finally got out of the deep freeze, and the weather was as warm as the fellowship at MOPS Christmas Brunch. There were prizes for best tasting (Raspberry Pie), most festive (Santa Hat Cupcakes), best cookie (Chocolate Cherry) and best decorated table (Marsha & Company). Salt of the Earth catered breakfast; Charity Weaver encouraged us to find our value and worth in Jesus, and the morning closed with a fun craft. Click here to enjoy more pictures. |

Prayer Corner
Second Sunday of Advent . . . PEACE
“Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.” John 14:27
Last week we read that our hope would come to us through the birth of a child whose name would be called “Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father and Prince of Peace.” This child, who dared to be born in the most humble of circumstances, is our promised peace. Unlike worldly peace, defined as the absence of conflict, Christ’s peace is a confident assurance in any circumstance that we have no need to fear.
