 "I have shown you in
every way by laboring
like this, that you must
support the weak. And re-
membering the words of
the Lord Jesus, that He
said, 'It is more blessed to
give than to receive."-
Acts 20:35
 Sunday morning was
such an abundant bless-
ing. Services began with
The Children's Christmas
Pageant. The children
performed the Christmas
Story and sang beautiful
holiday hymns. Will
Rutherford gave the offer-
tory prayer. This was fol-
lowed by Pastor Ferrell's
message. He spoke from
Isaiah 9:6- and Romans 5
on the Unreached People
groups. He spoke that
they needed peace from
God, and that the only
true peace can come from
God, not from a lack of
war.
 Sunday evening was
also our Christmas Mu-
sical "There is Peace in


the World Tonight." We
would like to thank
everyone who came and
supported our Choir.
This was followed by a
time of gathering in the
fellowship hall.
 The Youth Group at
Madison First also took
a trip the previous Fri-
day to see the Suwannee
Christmas Lights and
fellowship together dur-
ing the holiday season.
