President Mrs. June Henry read the Christmas story from Luke 2, leading in singing choruses that matched the highlights of the story. the ladies then enjoyed singing car- ols. Judi Ross talked about a prayer sister. Each lady writes her name, address, birthdate, and anniversary year and date on a paper. Drawing a name of a lady means she can send birthday and anniversary cards to her as a secret sister. Also, she is supposed to pray for her secret prayer sister. At the annual Christmas meeting, she gives a little gift to her secret sister, which allows each lady to fund out who sent the cards and was praying for her. Cathy Mason then handed out the prayer sister gifts, a real fun time for all. There was a baking exchange of goodies some ladies brought. Also, • a table of crafts for sale provided funds for mission project The la- dies enjoyed Christmas party fare after the meeting. Sunday morning the trio of Mat- thew Heffernan, Jane Bende, and Cheryl Wuerch opened the service leading in chorus singing. Rev. Roger Mason introduced Rev. Ar- chie Robertson as guest minister. Rev. Robertson from 1I Kings 4:1-7 said most people never see a miracle from God because they have never placed a demand on God's power. The widow in this story was in great financial need. In desperation she cried out to God's prophet for help. Acknowl- edging your need in desperation can bring a miracle. Going to God's prophet Elisha, whose life showed the power God, this widow depended_ on God to meet her need. Are you allowing God to meet your needs? First this widow had to obey the prophet's order to borrow vessels from her neighbours. She had only pot of oil leftin her house. Obeying God's order, she poured the oil out into all the many vessels she had borrowed. In obeying, she found deliver- ance from God. Obeying released God's power to meet her financial needs. She sold the oil at the prophet's order, which paid off her debts, and gave her and her sons enough to lie on. Applying God's principles met the need in her life. Kevin Dance played the organ to accompany Lorraine Armitage playing the piano for the singing Sunday evening. Karen Mason and Jane Bende sang Emmanuel. Miss Mason acted a deceiver of- fering Mrs. Bende a life of easein a lovely temple instead of going to the mission field. Miss Mason said this attitude is what keeps most Christians from serving as mission- aries. Yet Jesus said in Mark 16:7 to go into all the world and preach the gospel. Obeying God's command as in Jeremiah 1:7 Miss Mason went to Mexico on a missionary tour. Be- fore going, she was impressed with the name Miguel. She prayed for this unknown man. While in Mexico, she learned a Miguel had come to the missionaries to return to serving the Lord. Miss Mason closed reading Matthew 28;19-20, Jesus' call to Missions.
