Perkins First Baptist Church
By Wanda Earp
Our pastor gave us a sermon from St. John 1:1-4 basedupon the way
Christ was sent to us from the Father. He gave us a parable about a
King who had everything in life but what he really needed was a Queen
and a better life in the palace. The King was likened to God himself
who wanted the world to be a better place. He wanted to make a de-
cree that his Queen would mind him or he would overwhelm her with
hispower. Another thought came that maybe the best way to win her
would be to disguise himself as a peasant, giving up his glory and gran-
deur.
Our Jesus did almost this very thing when he came as a little peas-
ant baby, born in a manger, giving up his heavenly state and becoming
a human with all the problems. How deep must have been his love to
give up his Son to communicate to our world. This Son who was Co-
Equal, Co-Important and full of God's heart.
Our music was supplied by Trica McLain singing "Jesus Will Still Be
There." Shalu Taylor played Silent Night on the piano. In the evening
service we heard a flute solo by Debbie Smith and as this was played
the wreaths were being hung at The Hanging of the Greens. Carol
Davis sang "O Holy Night" and as this happened, we saw Mary and
Joseph appear. To all of our musicians and children who portrayed
Christmas characters, we thank you. It was beautiful. Many poinset-
tias were displayed and all this adds up to an impressive sight.
In the after service there was a gathering to acquaint ourselves with
our newer members in the fellowship hall.
Looking ahead to activities that are on the calendar:
