New Year’s Eve Meeting
As is our tradition, we met for our annual New Year’s Eve meeting. Fifteen men each gave a 10 minute message. Between each message was special music and song.
We believe the Lord was in it, and that those who spoke as well as those who heard found profit and exhortation. We trust the Lord Jesus Christ was honored and glorified through it all.
We do know of particular affects already from the gathering. Below is a list of all the speaker and their topics as I can best remember. While we will talk about the past year and the coming year at our annual business meeting, we can say the past year’s blessings were somewhat represented N.Y.Eve by having more young men than ever speak a word for the Lord.
And we can look forward to the coming year only with hope and anticipation that the Lord will do a good and glorifying work through their lives as well as the women in the church who are giving an increased evidence of having a heart to know and live for the Lord. And may the Lord help all of us “old timers” to keep in the battle and stay on course,
as our examples are no doubt being followed more now both in the home and church more any other time in the past.
