Don’t worry! According to the Christian calendar, this Sunday is the Second Sunday of Christmas. So, you have a final chance for Christmas music, like “Joy to the World” and “Silent Night, Holy Night,” after the last two services were cancelled.
And Curtis Staggs, who was originally scheduled for Dec. 27, will be preaching this coming Sunday on the topic “The Wonder of Christmas.”
Join us for worship at 6:00.
| 1. We Are the Church Alive — 12 |
| 2. A Mighty Fortress is Our God — 8 |
| 3. All Hail the Power of Jesus’ Name — 7 Take My Life and Let It Be |
| 4. Be Thou My Vision — 6 |
| Christ for the World We Sing |
| Guide Me O Thou Great Jehovah |
| Immortal, Invisible, God Only Wise |
| Joy to the World |
| Let Us Break Bread Together |
| Love Divine, All Loves Excelling |
| My Hope is Built on Nothing Less |
Counting Pastor Scott Jones’ sermons (not including those of guest preachers), the following were the most preached on biblical books of 2009 at CoH-OKC:
1. Psalms — 7
2. Mark — 6
3. John — 5
Ephesians
5. II Corinthians – 3
Job
Luke
8. II Kings — 2
I John
II Samuel
The following all had one sermon preached from them:
Deuteronomy
Isaiah
I Peter
Jeremiah
I Corinthians
Romans
Acts
James
Proverbs
Esther
Revelation
I Thessalonians
Baruch
I feel that this is a pretty good spread through various parts of the Bible.
Not counting service music (gradual, gloria, communion, doxology, etc.), the following were the nine hymns we sang the most at CoH in 2009:
A Mighty Fortress is Our God
We Are the Church Alive
Amazing Grace
Great is Thy Faithfulness
Guide Me O Thou Great Jehovah
Guide My Feet
Immortal, Invisible, God Only Wise
Let Us Break Bread Together
Praise to the Living God
Judy Hey has postponed the meeting until next Tuesday at 7 p.m. and it will be at her house on 11320 Markwell Dr., that is north of Hefner Road and west of Council Road. This is all per Judy….her computer is out.
Thanks,

This Sunday we will discuss what we would like to do with the Formations class in 2010. Do we want to continue with the same format as 2009 or mix it up somewhat with a book study or something else?
Join us at 4:30 in the youth basement. Enter behind the playground through the arcade. Yes, we are returning to our original spot now that the construction there is complete.
CoH has cancelled its Christmas Eve lesson and carols, candlelight service which was scheduled for 11 p.m.
We highly recommend that you do NOT venture out as the visibility and snow drifts make travel very dangerous.
There is always more great Advent and Christmas music than we can ever fit in to all the services we have. We still have three more services of Christmas music, so you won’t want to miss singing some of your favourites the one time a year we get to. Don’t miss Christmas Eve or the two Sundays of Christmastide.
Invite your friends and family on Sunday for our annual Christmas carol and special music worship service followed by the annual Christmas dinner. Don’t miss this delightful service.
This year the dinner, being prepared by Curtis Staggs, is raising funds for The Winds House, which helps those liv-ing with HIV/AIDS. There is a suggest donation of $10 for the meal. As is our custom, we will also be auctioning off holiday decorations.
