Some Great News From Rick...

Throughout the year we hear stories of how God has used the Singing Christmas Tree to draw people to faith. That confirms that the pain and suffering is worth the effort.

Last spring I found a musical that I believed would be perfect for our 15th Annual Argyle Outdoor Singing Christmas Tree performances in December. New music is expensive. Music books, parts CD's and the orchestration would be over $1,200.00. I believed God would provide.

We also need a baritone saxophone. Without a trombone in our band, we need the low end "beef" that a bari sax can provide. Both Tony and Emanuel are able to play it. We just needed an instrument. The cost would be around $700.00 for a playable used instrument. I believed God would provide.

The scaffolding rental, chair rental, promotion and other incidentals to produce the Tree each year cost around $2,000.00. God can provide that, too.

We received an offering at the Christmas In August dinner last week. We have received $2,925.00 as of today. The music is paid for. The bari sax is paid for and we are well on our way to cover the other costs of the Tree.

God is faithful. His people at Argyle are wonderful. Praise the Lord.
