We were saddened by the news of our brother Mel’s passing. Mel was a long-time member here and such a joyous soul. He spoke highly of everyone and was a true servant and encourager. It's hard losing our seniors. They bring much wisdom to this body and have served here or a long time.
The Funeral service will be Monday at 11:00 a.m. here at the church building. Calling hours will be Sunday from 2-4pm at the Redgate – Hennessy Funeral Home, Mainstreet and Gorham Place in Trumbull.
GIVING THANKS:
- Nadine’s PET/CT came back showing no tumors! Praise God!
PRAYER REQUESTS:
- For Lisa Skigen Carpenter and her sons and Mel’s family as they get through this difficult time.
- Prayers for Nadine’s Bone Biopsie which will be on December 19th
UPDATES:
- We have had to push out the next Ladies Bible study to Saturday January 21st at 10:00 a.m. at the building. Michelle Wilson will be leading the study. Thanks for being flexible on the dates and thanks to Michelle for leading this study.
- Saturday February 11th at 10:00 am Lord willing Gina Porto (Maria Reda’s sister) will be sharing an Italian recipe with us. Join us for a short devotional, coffee and time of encouragement.
God became man. “Immanuel” or God with us.

I SING PRAISES TO YOUR NAME
I sing Praises to Your Name,
Oh LORD,
Praises to Your Name,
Oh LORD,
For Your name is great and greatly to be praised.
I give glory to Your Name,
Oh LORD,
Glory to Your Name,
Oh LORD,
For Your name is great and greatly to be praised!
“In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus;
Who, being in very nature God,
Did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage;
Rather, he made himself nothing
By taking the very nature of a servant,
Being made in human likeness,
And being found in appearance as a man,
He humbled himself
By becoming obedient to death,
Even death on a cross!
Therefore God exalted him to the highest place
And gave him the name that is above every name,
That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,
In heaven and on earth and under the earth,
And every tongue acknowledge that
Jesus Christ is LORD,
To the glory of God the Father.”
From the cradle, to the cross, to the Crown of Glory, Jesus is LORD.
