Christmas Celebrations



The Family of Peacock Baptist celebrated the birth of our Saviour November 29th all day. After our morning Sunday School and worship service, we shared a meal together. Then we all decorated the building, inside and out. We climbed ladders and precariously straddled the stair case in order to hang the garland and glittery Christmas wishes inside and the guys got to play with their hammers, drills, and other tools as they constructed the Nativity scene outside. The outside air was cold but we were all warmed with fellowship and laughter. Then... the Chinese Christmas Exchange. This is always fun. We bring things we'd like to receive ourselves and then scheme and conive, trying to take home the ones that caught our fancy. Finally, we eat again. We had another great day.

The joint Stonewall County Christmas Celebration was December 13th at Peacock Baptist Church. Shiloh presented a tremendous Christmas concert after our pastors read the Christmas account from Luke. The building was packed. We hope to have Shiloh back any time we can get them. They lead us in worship of our Lord and He is glorified in our hearts as we listen and participate in the beautiful music. We enjoyed delicious treats brought by the ladies after the service.
