If you want to talk about great weekends, I think the weekend of December 18th-20th 2009 should be mentioned. God is truly working through our church family, and we give Him all praise!
Friday night, we had our first community movie 
night. A group of about 40 came in out of the cold, and watched a Merry Madagascar and the Polar Express in the Family Life Center. We had fresh popcorn popped, pop to drink, candy canes to much on, bells to ring, and train tickets to ride the train. It was FUN! People came in pj's and slippers, bundled up in blankets, and snuggled into bean bags. Some brought their own lawn chairs and others used our folding chairs. Let's all set our calendars for Friday, January 22nd! We'll be watching UP; bring your friends and neighbors and spread the word! And a "thank you" is absolutely due to those who worked so hard to get everything ready!! It was a team effort, and a successful one at that! :) THANK YOU!

Saturday morning was equally exciting. We had Christmas carols playing as the Angel Food team distributed the December orders. It was the second highest month in orders since it started! Momentum is picking up! If you haven't ever taken part, come some Saturday morning, grab a hot coffee, and relax with us. You will not regret it.And the good report continues.....
While our Angel Food was being distributed, Pastor Andy and his team were at the Christian Church's food pantry. This was the first month to distribute all of our convenience items that we've been collecting!! We had toilet paper, paper towels, diapers, baby wipes, deodarant, shampoo, laundry detergent, tooth paste, and so much more. All thanks to YOU and your donations!! Are you catching the excitement yet??!! Stand anywhere within a block of the Eaton First Church of God, and you may just be knocked over by it :) We haven't even hit Sunday morning yet, but worship has taken place.
If you want to talk about good months, let's rewind a week and talk about the Christmas cantata! Personally, as one little alto in the back row, I had to fight tears the entire time. It truly felt as though a chorus of angels had stepped in to sing with us. It was moving, and again, I know that God was with us. God is good!! Let's keep praying that He can continue to work through us, in us, and around us. That He would become greater, and we would become less. It's all for Him!!
