Tacky Christmas Sweater Party

Last Friday, we had our Tacky Christmas Sweater Party at the Childers' house. We had a great time playing a "Guys against Girls" Christmas trivia game where the girls did win. We also had a contest for the Tackiest Guy (which was almost unanimously Derek), the Tackiest Gal (Emily), and the Tackiest Couple (The Starks). All in all, it was a great time of fellowship with friends and delicious food.

4. Lift up Ann Childers, Dustin's step-mother, as she is having a procedure done this week and we are all hoping for a simple and easy diagnosis and treatment.

5. Ryan Silby, Dustin & Jenna's nephew who is living in the Czech Republic w/ missionary parents, fell and hit his head on cement this week. He suffered a severe concussion, was unconscious for five minutes, unresponsive for 30 min and showed signs of a seizure. The english-speaking neurologist diagnosed him with a severe concussion and released him from the hospital after 24 hrs. Ryan is allowed no tv, videogames, or school for several weeks b/c they do not want any additional brain stimulation. Praise God for Ryan's quick recovery and thank the Lord for watching over him during what could have been a much worse situation.

6. Pray for Jeremy Williams as he speaks at the Keller-Williams prayer meeting on Tuesday. This is an awesome opportunity for the Lord to use him to work in the lives of others.

7. Pray for all of our friends as they travel this holiday week.

8. Pray for all of the marriages in our class. Many times even our closest friends are in the midst of hard times in their marriage and we don't even know it. We need to always be lifting each other up to the Lord.
