Christmas Food Drive
The Bonham Police Department is putting together the Christmas Baskets for community members who need a little help with food this Christmas. Our church has been asked to donate macaroni and cheese. Donations will be picked up by the police department on December 18th for distribution on the 20th. Thank you from the Bonham Police Department.
Christmas Favorites
To our Church Family:
During the Advent season, many of us are moved to slow down and count our blessings. We are incredibly blessed that the Lord brought us together in this church, allowing us to share our love of singing in His service.
We have always felt loved and supported by our church family and it is this loving encouragement that has allowed us to fulfill a life-long dream of recording a CD of our favorite Christmas hymns. Our church family has many talented people, and we’d like to thank two of them: Patti Felmet and Rick Massey. Patti’s talent on the organ and piano is something most musicians only hope to achieve, and Rick’s recording studio is as professional as you will find in any major city.
We present this CD as a love offering to our church and are donating all proceeds to the music department, specifically children’s music. CD’s are $10 and may be purchased in the church office.
Merry Christmas,
Jan Allen and Jill Smith
