Thank you to everyone who donated to the VBS Mission,
Go Joe 16. We received a thank you email from Joe
Snedeker in which Joe encourages us to “Shine On!” I am
really grateful to be part of such a generous faithcommunity
family. The total donated through our joint
VBS of Stairville and Faith UMC and Emmanuel United
Church of Christ was $575. I have posted the email on
the bulletin board in the bell tower. You make me so
proud to be called a Christian.
In the same region there were some shepherds staying out in the fields and keeping watch over their flock at night. And an angel of the Lord suddenly stood near them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them; and they were terribly frightened. And so the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid; for behold, I bring you good news of great joy which will be for all the people; for today in the city of David there has been born for you a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. — Luke 2:8-11 (NASV)
