We had a good men’s meeting last Sunday evening.  In spite of the health issues several are dealing with we were able to have enough there to conduct our business.  We were not able to have a budget report this time but did get some other things covered.  Class materials were approved for both our children’s class and for the adult class that meets in the fellowship hall.  Also, the need of a budget presentation for the congregation was discussed and a final decision will be made on that at our next meeting.  Our men’s meeting for January was moved from the 1st to the 8th with the 1st being New Year’s Day.  Also, along with that, our services for December 25 which, of course, is the holiday, Christmas Day, was discussed.  It was decided that there will be regular Sunday morning services—Bible classes and worship.  But, the Sunday evening service will be a devotional time of songs and prayers, and it will be at the regular time of 6:00 p.m.  The men also want to send $500 to help our brethren in Gatlinburg, Tenn. as they lost their total facility and some members lost their homes and all they had as well.  Their building was covered by insurance that that will not cover a lot of the materials, Bibles, song books, and class materials that were lost in the fire.  We know that, over all, $500 isn’t a lot but it is something that we can try to do to help our brothers and sisters in Christ if we have enough in reserve to do it.  Also, our sign out in front was discussed.  It is really in bad shape, the wooden posts and frame are rotting out and we really need a bigger more prominent sign that is easier for people to see and read out there.  Gary Rowe is going to check on some new sign cost for us so we can determine what we can do there.  Along with all of this, I still have a week of vacation coming and the men agreed to allow us to take the week around Christmas off so we can spend some time with family for the holiday.  I have contacted Roy Coffman and he is free to come and fill in for me on Sunday morning, December 25th.  He will teach the class and preach.  He will not be needed Sunday evening with just the singing and prayer service devotional for the evening service. 
​
Brethren, I know we are a small congregation and we don’t have a lot of resources but, I have to say that our men really want to do all we can to serve the Lord and share the gospel of Christ in every way we can.  I really appreciate their attitudes and their comments in these meetings.  It is not how little can we do, it is how much can we do!  They make it plain they are willing to try, willing to step up and trust God to help them get it done.  Please pray for us as a congregation, pray for the men of this congregation as they try, to the best of their ability, to lead us in service of Almighty God.  Pray that we can grow, can reach out, can share the gospel of Christ in every way possible to our community right here in the Wagoner area.
 
       Until next week, I love you all,
                  Dan
