Many of our elderly tell of coming to Immanuel Mission for a Christmas celebration on wagons, some even getting here the night before and sleeping by a fire under the stars. There was a Navajo preacher telling the Good News of God coming to earth as a baby, living as a man, then going to the cross for our sins before rising again the 3rd day and giving us the right to become children of God. The missionaries would serve beans and hotdogs and coffee. Then there was a gift bag with sewing kits, toiletries, roll ups (candy stuffed in an empty TP roll and wrapped in paper) hats or mittens or scarves and other goodies. It was fun for the kids to play with friends and it was good for the adults to visit with relatives.
We plan to replicate that this year on December 16th to celebrate 100 years of God’s faithfulness to the Sweetwater community. Join us in praying for good weather, a clear Gospel message, and heart felt worship and submission to our Creator and Savior, Jesus Christ.
