Precious Lord, take my hand!

We are running toward the busiest season of a year, Thanksgiving and Christmas. Especially, our church has an annual Barbecue next weekend. For the event, people spent most of their free time in the church to prepare it such as cutting woods, cleaning the grills, making the barbecue sauce, and so on. It is an enormous effort to make it happen.

I have chosen "Precious Lord, take my hand" as our anthem of this week. Physically, or emotionally, we all sometimes get tired and feel that we even couldn't move a one more step. Some people might feel that way in the Sunday morning. Let's call our Precious Lord, and ask Him to take our hands. From Psalms 37: 24,"though he stumble, he will not fall, for the LORD upholds him with his hand." We all stumble in some point but we will not fall because the Lord holds with His hand. What a comforting message! I have prayed that we all confess that we stumble and need His hand. Here is the text.

Precious Lord, take my hand Lead me on, let me stand I"m tired, I"m weak, I"m lone Through the storm, through the night Lead me on to the light Take my hand precious Lord, lead me home.

This week and beyond.

I am sorry that I haven't been writing lately anything. I did not have much time staying with the computer. One of my home computers has been out of function for several days. All made me not to update much. I went to Indiana to attend one of my teachers memorial service the first part of November. Now, my husband is in Indiana to prepare for his final project and it means I have to take care of my girls 24 hour a day by myself. It makes me also busier than usual.

However, the choirs have been doing as normal. All the rehearsals are held as usual. However, next week, there will be no rehearsal for the youth handbell, and children's choir on Wed. night next week due to the barbecue. But the chancel choir will still meet on Wed. night.
There will be a community Thanksgiving service at St. Anne on Sunday 23rd at 7:00. Anyone is interested in singing with people as a choir, please come at 5:50!! We will rehearse a song for the special anthem.

The youth handbell did a wonderful job last Sunday at both services! The youth ensemble will meet on Sunday at 4:30 and play with the chancel choir on 23rd with " Rejoice, Sing and Thanksgiving" at both service.

Dec. 14th will be the Lessons and carols!! Please mark that day afternoon from 4:00-6:00!

The children's choir will sing on this Sunday with "Hymn of Promise". Please wear white top and dark bottom and be there tomorrow rehearsal as well as 8:30 on Sunday.

The adult handbell will have a rehearsal as normal and play the first Sunday on Dec. with O come o come Emmanuel.

Let's have a wonderful week!
