This past week began with the believers of Faith Bible Church celebrating their fifth anniversary in their new building.\u00a0 They planned and led the service with singing, preaching, and eating.\u00a0 We are so proud of the believers and excited to see them do this on their own.\u00a0 The theme they chose for the celebration came from Romans 8:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Throughout the week, Ginger made 241 sugar cookies and nine batches of vanilla buttercream frosting.  And then the week ended with our annual cookie-decorating party with the ladies of the church.  Some of the ladies thought this was a contest to see who could get the most frosting and sugar on a cookie.  <\/p>\n\n\n

Others took the time and made these cookies a work of art, a very yummy work of art. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These ladies all took a plate of cookies home, and Ginger gave each one a Christmas gift of Bible study books to help them to treasure God\u2019s Word. <\/p>\n\n\n
