This has been a great week to be a Christian. We have been celebrating the birth of Christ in many ways at the Crab Orchard Church. I am very thankful for our kids, for giving of their time and going caroling, and the kids and youth for their part in the church play. Saturday night our church was full as people came out in the rain to see "Christmas at Cricket County Cafe" and we had a blast.

Tonight we have just finished with our annual church banquet and there was enough food to feed a large army. After the meal we had a (little fun), ok we laughed a lot and who said God's people cannot laugh and have fun. I have posted a few photos and I hope everyony has enjoyed the fellowship. Let's not forget the reason for the season, "Christ Jesus".
