COT:
Gift of Giving,
The gift of making someone smile can go a long way. Take a look at all things around you and how thankful we should be. We are fortunate to have the brotherhood we have established. These are life long friendships. I encourage to find a way to give to either a church, someone in need, a child for Christmas, or just anything in General.

A prayer for 2024:
God of Love, You are with us in every transition and change. As we enter this new era with excitement and even some anxiety, we recall your deep compassion, presence, and abounding love. We thank you for the gifts, talents, and skills with which you have blessed us. We thank you for the experiences that have brought us to this moment. We thank you for the work of others that gives breadth and depth to our own work. Be with us as we move forward, rejoicing with you and supporting one another.
We ask this in your Holy Name.

COT: Talked about The Little Drummer Boy – he didn’t have anything to bring to Jesus, but he had a drum and he played his heart out for the King.  Don’t ever think you have nothing to offer to the King.

It recalls the story of the widow at the temple. She gives very little compared to the larger tithes being offered by the wealthy Pharisees, but the offering represents all she owns in the world
