Last week one of our energetic nephews, Jacob, was in the Christmas play at his school. He was excited about his role. Parents and grandparents were in attendance with videocameras in hand. When they reported to Aunt Amanda and Uncle Barry about the good job Jacob did, I asked, “What part did he play?” I was surprised when they answered, “He was the donkey that Mary rode into Bethlehem.” Then came the remark, “Somebody has to do it.”
It’s true that many of us play a lot of different roles in God’s church and God’s kingdom. No matter what role you play, I appreciate the servant heart, the spiritual gifts, and the growing faithfulness you offer to the Lord through the ministries of First Baptist Church.
On behalf of our support staff and ministers, “thank you” for the encouraging notes, Christmas cards, and various goodies you have shared with us during the holiday season.
We wish for you and your family a meaningful and merry Christmas, and true joy and peace for the New Year!
