Highland Oaks Church of Christ...

Barry and I enjoyed a wonderful service at Highland Oaks Church of Christ this morning.  The main sanctuary was decorated with two beautifully lit Christmast Trees with red poinsetta and bright red ribbon.  There were many Christmas songs included with today's service.  Christopher Green's message was about seeing Christmas through a childs eyes, the origins of Christmas and renewing our sense of excitement about Christianity.  At the end of the service, Christopher made mention to the congregation that Barry and I were there.  Barry was immediately overtaken with emotion as his mouth formed the words "Thank You" in Christophers direction.  It was a precious moment.  As the mornings service ended, we were surrounded by familiar faces with open arms and new faces introducing themselves to us and expressions of prayer.  We are so blessed to be part of such a warm, inviting group of people.  Thank you to everyone at HOCC for all that you have done for my husband and my family.  You have brought light to a family that has been faced with many challenges.
