Comments are fixed, I found out that in my ignorance, I did not know that the formal default setting on blogspot was the setting of, Members only, so I changed the setting to, ya'all come, now everyone should be able to post a response to any of the writing we post on here.

In other news, Pizza church was great this week, and we had 23 attend, and four adults which was amazing, and we conquered the task of reading Psalm 25 and breaking it into 4 chunks and doing a rap back and fourth using the words from the Psalm. It was a great activitiy, and I think it will be remembered as an important scripture because the kids rapped it and nearly had it memorized by the end of the night, and it was a catchy tune. Then, I took some folks home because it started raining, and then, I cleaned house. Yes we are still taking bids for people to clean, but as of yet, I am bringing back my skills from when I was assistant caretaker at the Guthrie Grove Campgrounds, and I mopped, washed dishes, threw out some bad food, and then vacumed, and then met with one of our members who wandered back in from the cold to talk with me and share in prayer. All in all a great experience. One that I think will help bear fruits in faith.

Six things to pray for:
1. A holiday free from injury in our connections and travels of friends and family this Christmas.
2. For our communities in which our churches serve may find ways to make sure everyone stays warm and has enough food to get them through the winter months.
3.Pray for Membership of Detroit Hope to think about discipleship and baptism.
4. Pray for 1 new cell group this year to grow and be fostered in this neighborhood.
5. Pray for all those who have tests and struggle to stay in class, during this time of year, pray for those who are thinking about dropping out, and pray for their well being and that they might find tutors or mentors to make their studies easier.
6. Pray that we all remember Christ in our Lives during this advent season.

Our Congregation wants to thank Lamoni Congregation for their dilligence and understanding and their unwavering ability to give and help our congregation so much. We thank you for all of your support this season. It will help in our ministry, and in our mission to serve the community. God Bless You!!
