The kids side-Change to 2009...

If you haven't seen in it advertised yet. Pastor Terry has planned a fun filled night for the kids on New Years Eve. Sounds like fun; movie, games, Burger King, ect. It's from 7pm to 12:30am. They are watching the movie Tale of Esper..something, the one about the mouse with the big ears. I wouldn't mind going, if not just to see the movie alone.

The cost, I believe, is $10 plus extra for Burger King. I'm sure Pastor T could use a couple of adults to help out and let some kids know about it.

I wanted to share this little video with everyone. My aunt had sent this to me and I had to do it with our family, we are hanging out on a short vacation in Branson, Missouri before Christmas. We are having a good time, it was nice to get away for a few days and the town is beautiful with all of the lights at Christmas time. If you have time you should do this with your family, we all enjoyed watching together as a family. Hope you can make some fun memories with your family this holiday season and I can't wait to hear about everyone's holiday. Merry Christmas! Nina

Gift Series

he Christmas Season is here!

Enid First Assembly is ready to take action.

Our church is kicking off the second installment of the GIFTS series this weekend! Pastor Dan and Pastor BJ's sermons will reflect the topics of The Purpose of Christmas written by The Purpose Driven Life's, Rick Warren. They will share with us the true story of Christmas and get us back to its original and central focus; the birth o Jesus.

In conjunction with the GIFTS series, the church will support local service organizations and give back to the community through various projects over the next three weeks. The goal is to get outside the four walls of the church and give back to the community. The church will focus on two projects next week: Horn of Plenty and Salvation Army. More information to come this weekend!

The staff hopes everyone is as excited about this holiday season as they are. If we all do our part, the outcome will be amazing! This can truly be a Christmas that not only our families will never forget, but many other less fortunate ones as well. The church hopes you'll get involved this holiday season!

"Tonight was a great service (Thanks BJ), it made me really think about the real meaning behind Christmas again. I have finished my holiday shopping and now am trying to focus on wrapping the gifts. It's hard sometimes not to get caught up in all the craziness of the gift giving. It's time to remember why we have Christmas and to be thankful for what we have, for the life God gave us and to bless others in the process. Terry and I already filled a basket for the food drive and it was a great feeling to know that we are helping some family this holiday season. With my past job in working for OKDHS, I know how many families struggle with day to day finances, let alone trying to come up with extra money for a Christmas dinner and gifts for their children. So I encourage you this season to bless someone and take the church challenge. I promise you God will bless you for the blessings you store upon others."

Books By Mail

So I'm totally in a reading frenzie these days. Today I started The Shack by William Young which is a man who spends a couple of days with God in, you guessed it, a shack. Anyway, just finished the forward and am looking forward to getting started with this book.

Seeing as how up until tonight I was unemployeed I didn't exactly have a lot of money just hanging around for me to spend on books. I tried the local library. I wish our library had more current titles available. I had a list of half a dozen books when I went in there and was not able to find a single one. Then my brilliant, smart,and wonderful friend Abby Normal (you know how I love to protect the names of the innocent) suggested this website called Paperspine.com.

It is wonderful. It's like Netflicks, but for books. You sign up for how many books you want to recieve at a time and then for a monthly fee you they'll send the books on your queue for you to read. You read them and send them back in the postage paid envelopes and a few days later you get another book! How cool is that!

The ONLY part that is horrid is the days you have to wait while books are in the mail. But I guess that's the reason you should sign up for 2 or more books. That way you're reading the next book while you're waiting for the one that's in the mail.

This system is SO much easier then spending $80 a week for a half dozen books that barely last you a month and then take up a ton of space in your house. Now if you get a book that you fall in love with and never ever ever want to part with you just email the company and tell them what book you just have to keep forever and they'll let you know how much it'll cost ya, if you're ok with that they'll just charge your card and you live happily ever after.

The End.
