I hope all of you got the word that our Children's Christmas Program 
that was to be held last Sunday evening was cancelled and is rescheduled for this coming Sunday morning, December 23 in our 10:45 AM Worship Service. I apologize for any confusion, some of us were trying to think clearly and quickly to determine the right decision and alternative actions in the midst of multiple phone calls. This picture from last Sunday's Browns / Bills game at Cleveland Stadium gives you an idea of why things were cancelled: 
Should future cancellations be necessary during this winter, please tune your radio to 103.3 FM (WCRF), watch for the "crawler" on our local WEWS - TV/NewsChannel 5, 
and check the homepage on our church website (http://www.faithbaptiststreetsboro.org/)

and check the homepage on our church website (http://www.faithbaptiststreetsboro.org/)Please remember that we will be holding our ABF's at 9:30 AM as normal this Sunday. All children in the program should be here at 9:30 AM and go directly to the auditorium to run over a few things before the program.
There will be NO 6:00 PM service or other children's programming on Sunday. This is because we will be having our annual Candlelight Christmas Eve Service at 7:00 PM the following Monday evening. This is always a wonderful service and way to begin a special Christmas time. Many families have made it a part of their family tradition, it would be great for yours as well. It is only about an hour long, but is very special. Several of our young adults who grew up here will be back to minister in song or readings. It will be great to see them, why not make this service part of YOUR family Christmas?
Note that there will be NO Wednesday service on December 26, and NO Sunday Evening service at 6:00 PM on December 30. We have found that the break during this time of year has been helpful to us all. Those who minister in many ways throughout the year appreciate the break. On Sunday, December 26 we WILL have our regular 9:30 AM Sunday school and ABF's as well as our 10:45 AM Worship service, which will feature special guest speaker, Pastor Igor Bagirov whom I told you about in my additional email last week. Remember that our "Gifts for Christ" offering this year will be going to him and his family, and we would like to present it to him on that day. Please give generously.
Speaking of giving, any year end giving to our church should be in the offering on Sunday, December 30 if you would like it to count on your tax deductions for 2007. And Beth and I want to thank you for your Christmas gift to us, it is much appreciated. Your love and prayers mean much to us, thank you.
Pray that God will bless in many ways this Sunday in every church service that proclaims Christ as Savior. May He be the "main attraction" in our services and in our hearts this week and always. I look forward to seeing you this Sunday!
Don Workman, pastor
PS - here is a picture of former pastor here, Tony Beckett, who now ministers in Michigan. He looks like the "iceman of the north" this past weekend.
