Thanksgiving Celebration Page 3 A good time was had by all who attended the Thanksgiving gathering. It was great to see everyone there. Thank you to One Council for organizing and running the evening and to Dr. McClure for being our keynote speaker. A Christmas List with a Twist When I was a kid, I would engage in the tradition passed down from generation to generation of preparing a Christmas list for Santa of things I wanted. I long ago ceased that practice, but think maybe it’s time to embrace it again – with a twist. The twist is that my list won’t be filled with stuff I want. Rather, it will contain those things I pray others will receive. Prayers for healing for those who are ill. Prayers of hope for those who despair. Prayers for wholeness for those whose lives are broken. And prayers for all that they will come to know the Lord Jesus like they have never known him before. I wonder what might happen if you were to create your own Christmas list of prayers for others. While I’m not certain about the outcome, I know this. Life would change for a lot of people. And it would change for the better. - Bishop Mueller Wesley UMC Newsletter December 2021
