Lord's Day December 11 2022

Last Lord's Day was an encouraging day in many ways as we begann on our "Christmas programme". My plan is to look at Natthew 1 and 2 over three Sundays, each morning looking at a passage and then singling put something from that passage in the evening. So this last Lord's Day it was Matthew 1:1-17, first more generally and then focusing on the women mentioned in verses 3-6 in the evening. The encouragements came in the morning in the return of a lady who came the week before and in the evening in the return of another lady and the first attendance of a lady who had received a Christmas invite through her door the day before. Itherwise there were several away for various reasons. After church we had a go at a new Christmas hymn written by one of our deacoons (music) and a former member of the congregation. We enjooyed that. As we came out the snow had already started. It was to carry on through the night so tha we wike ti a proper snowfall the next morning.
