"So, do you always carry your TV remote around with you?" the clerk asked.
"No" the lady replied, "but my husband refused to come Christmas shopping with me, and I figured this was the most evil thing I could legally do to him for not coming and helping."
Fair warning to all us men!
This Sunday is annually a big day for us here at Faith Baptist - you won't want to miss any of it:
9:45 AM - continuing learning and living through our Sunday School and Adult Bible Fellowships. Classes for all ages and four ABF's from which to choose.
10:45 AM - Christmas celebration through songs of the season and then the presentation of our adult choir cantata, "Joy Came Down." 
Through songs new and old, as well as Biblical readings we will all be reminded of the unique birth of Jesus the God - man into the world. Come rejoice together.

Come rejoice together.6:00 PM - Our children and students will present their program, "Ready for Christmas." Through this musical/drama you will be blest by the ministry and hard work our kids have put into this program. They are excited to do it, please come share in their excitement! 
As I mention these two events, please remember adult choir that the dress rehearsal is this Friday (tomorrow night) at 7:00 pm. Bring a snack to share at the break time.
And parents, please have your kids here early for their dress rehearsal on Saturday from 9:00 am to noon. Please be here early for pick up as well.
Our youth group will have their annual Christmas shopping outing from 1:00 - 7:00 pm this Saturday. Again, be here early and ready to go. Any questions, call Dennis McMichael.
Our annual Candlelight Christmas Eve service is always a special blessing. It will take place here at 7:00 PM and will last approximately an hour, not too long to add to your family Christmas tradition. We hope to be joined by some folks from First Baptist in Aurora, which will make it an extra special evening. Introspective Christmas carols and rehearsing the story through readings will give us all a deeper appreciation for Christ's birth. Don 't miss this special time.Our UPWARD basketball ministry for kids is in full swing. 
We are completing the evaluations this evening (Thursday), but if you missed it please see Dan Kieta to arrange a time for your child. This promises to be another exciting time of basketball and ministry in the lives of kids and families. Brochures are all over the place in our church for information, and I hope to get it on our website soon. Again, if you can help by coaching or referreeing please sign up soon. Pray for this ministry as we are in the organizing stage for the coming year.

More information is on our website as well as in our bulletin this week. Please be praying about who you can invite to this special time of comedy, song, challenge, and worship. It will be a great time, plan to attend. 
Well, in listening to the "Messiah" everyday in my office I am trying to get my mind in a proper mood for this season. The "Hallelujah Chorus" just came on, so I must go now to sing it. God bless you as you prepare for this Sunday.

Nicholas (age 3) 
had one of his first experiences with Santa Clause where he could remember and recognize him. After receiving a candy cane from a Santa in a store, Nicholas saw another Santa the next day in another store. As the Santa tried to say who he was to Nicholas, Nic said, "I know - you gave me a candy cane, remember?" I think Santa #2 bumbled his way out of that one. Sarah said they went to another store the next day where there was a "group" of Santas for some reason, but she veered Nicholas away from that encounter - it would be too much for a 3 year old to comprehend!
