\nA Prayer of Comfort for the New Year by\u00a0Van Varner<\/em>*
\n<\/strong>Heavenly Father,
\nAt midnight,
\nWhen the old year dies,<\/em>
\nAnd the new comes bounding in,<\/em>
\nI draw strength from knowing<\/em>
\nThat in the next twelve months<\/em>
\nThe snows will go<\/em>
\nThe buds will burst<\/em>
\nThe heat will rise<\/em>
\nThe leaves will fly,<\/em>
\nThat all these things will happen<\/em>
\nAccording to Your schedule
\nAnd in Your time;<\/em>
\nThat there is order in Your universe,<\/em>
\nAnd that I am part of it.<\/em><\/p>\n

Winter Coat\/Accessory Drive:<\/strong>\u00a0 Jan N.’s \u201cJust One Coat<\/em>\u201d<\/strong> initiative has begun! We are asking every member (who is able) to select a coat from their personal closets, buy matching gloves, a hat and a scarf- then our time, talent and tithe could be realized for our giving month of December by providing a minimum of 31 (for each day) sets to bless women less fortunate. Since Plan A did not materialize December 2021, our hope is to begin planning for Plan B – a December 2022 coat drive. (Check your closet to determine if you have a \u201cNearly New Coat\u201d or begin saving to purchase one).<\/p>\n

In keeping with our spirit of giving, the Langley Women’s Ministry (and one man) LWM has already purchased, \u00a0prepared, and delivered more than fifty scarves, hats and glove sets to the following shelters: The Primo Center for Women and Children (South Sangamon);\u00a0 Chicago Metropolitan Services (63rd<\/sup>); and the Salvation Army Family Shelter (North Lawrence).<\/p>\n

Thanks and blessings to those who utilized their personal time\/talent\/tithe:\u00a0 Theresa Banks, Theresa Jenkins, Jessye Payne, Kyra Payne, Esq., Ann Washington, Derrick Washington and Brunetta Williams. We look forward to the coat drive at the end of the year 2022!<\/p>\n

New Year’s Inspiration: “A Recipe for a Happy New Year<\/b>” by\u00a0Anonymous**<\/strong><\/p>\n

Take twelve fine, full-grown months; see that these are thoroughly free from old memories of bitterness, rancor and hate, cleanse them completely from every clinging spite; pick off all specks of pettiness and littleness; in short, see that these months are freed from all the past\u2014have them fresh and clean as when they first came from the great storehouse of Time. Cut these months into thirty or thirty-one equal parts. Do not attempt to make up the whole batch at one time (so many persons spoil the entire lot this way) but prepare one day at a time.<\/p>\n

Into each day put equal parts of faith, patience, courage, work (some people omit this ingredient and so spoil the flavor of the rest), hope, fidelity, liberality, kindness, rest (leaving this out is like leaving the oil out of the salad dressing\u2014 don\u2019t do it), prayer, meditation, and one well-selected resolution. Put in about one teaspoonful of good spirits, a dash of fun, a pinch of folly, a sprinkling of play, and a heaping cupful of good humor.<\/p>\n
