Merry Christmas 2013!
On the prayer point today Betty Hamil, Martez Richerson, Gloria Whitmore. jack@danvillebaptist.org. P.O. Box 70 Danville, AL 35619.
Visited Mitchel Fox yesterday morning. Talked to Tiffany Dawn at church last night and she told me he is now most likely going to stay in hospital for 14 more days.
The Lord blessed and we had a very good Christmas Eve service. The attendance was good, the music was good, and the Spirit was excellent. Thanks to those who prepared the Lord’s Supper and to the deacons for serving it. Our Christmas Eve service is without a doubt one of my favorite services of the year. I encourage families now to plan their 2014 Christmas Eve family activities around this service. Is there a better way to celebrate Christmas than to gather on the eve of His birth to worship Him? Make a statement of faith to the younger generation in your family that says Christmas is first and foremost about Him!
It was great to see Pastor Abel Garcia and his family last night. They are in the process of moving from Texas to Rainbow City, Alabama. He will be serving as pastor of our church there. Pray for their transition.
Lisa, Dana, Gina and I will leave shortly after noon today heading to Denver, Colorado for a few days of family time and skiing. I love the cold (46 degrees is not cold Bro. Jerry Whitmore – LOL!) and I love to ski. Colorado is a beautiful state. Lord willing, we will return home next Tuesday.
The church office is closed until Monday, 12/30, but our other staff members should be available in the event of an emergency. Call them about 2:00AM each morning just to tell them that you have no emergency!
This Sunday, 12/29, Student Pastor Wes Bates will be preaching in our 10:30AM service which is the only service we will have that day. I pray that our attendance will be strong and that we will finish the calendar year strong financially as well. Pray for Wes as he prepares to preach.
I pray that you will have a restful, reflective Christmas Day with Jesus.

To our Friendship Family: We have friends that are in Africa adopting a little girl. They have been to Africa many times leading mission trips. Ken, Dana, and Ayden Whitton have been there for about 3 weeks taking care of paperwork/legalwork. The oldest son, Bryan arrived a couple of days ago. (He is one of Aaron’s best friends). Ken has contacted typhoid fever and is in need of prayers. There is also a possibility that Ayden has it. They will confirm it tomorrow. Ayden is about 7 years old I believe. Bryan has been exposed as he has been taking care of a young boy that has typhoid, so he will be checked tomorrow. The other Whitton children will be flying out to Africa in the next few days. They give so much of their money, time, and effort to missions. Please pray for this family. The new daughter “Brenda” needs prayers also. She is 7 I believe and is also showing some signs. I am not positive on this, but I believe they also could have malaria. All of this is coming via-computer. I will update or correct any info that is not right. Thanks!!! Glenda Chinners.
