Bits From Bo

Dear Church Family,

            It’s just days before Christmas and I only have a few gifts left to buy.  Just a couple for Traci, because she has taken care of everybody else.  I thank God everyday for my wife.

            By the time you get the Contact, Christmas will be over, but I am wishing you a Merry Christmas and a prosperous Happy New Year.

            As usual, the holiday season is busy (The Holy Days) and January, thankfully, will be a little slower.  So far we’ve had a great December, with parties, time together with family and friends, and just an all around good time.

            As I said before, January will be a little slower, but things will be picking up in February with our first big youth event being 30 Hour Famine.  We are going to join with a couple of local churches in hopes of increasing the amount of money raised to feed the hungry in the U.S. and abroad.  This year we will partner with World Vision, because they seem to do the best job giving the money directly to those in need.  Only 7% of each dollar goes to administration.  The other 93% goes to direct aid.  If only our government would do such a thing, then we could all pay 10% tax, which by the way is all God requires. Maybe the problem is, they suffer from illusions of grandeur in the thought that they are gods.  That’s why term limits are important.  Before I go to far, that’s a whole other sermon.

            Love you all & Happy New Year!

                                    In Christ,

                                    Bro. Bo
