Jesus Saves Ministries Blog: Happenings On the Jesus Saves Social Network

A Not So Silent Christmas By: Min. Angela Lee Price

We celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ this month with good tidings of great joy! Although we love to sing "Silent Night," the night Jesus was born was really not so silent. The multitude of heavenly host began praising God, saying, "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth, goodwill toward men" (Luke 2:14). A Daily Bread devotion says about that night, "Heaven's choir came down to sing when heaven's King came down to save." The shepherds, too, were not so silent that so-called silent night. After running to see baby Jesus for themselves, they ran to Bethlehem to share the news with the people. As Christians, we ought not be so silent during the Advent Season. Let us here on the Jesus Saves Social Network be bold, boisterous, believers in sharing the good news that God so loved the world that He gave His only Son to save us from our sins. Keep Christ in Christmas and tell everyone in your community wherever you live, and around the world on the internet that Jesus saves!

Backstage Happenings from the West Louisville Performing Arts Hope Awards Christmas Concert

Bill and I backstage at the West Louisville Performing Arts Academy 15th Annual Hope Awards Christmas Concert, Sunday, December 7th at the Brown Theatre. WLPAA Founder and Director McDaniel Bullitt, his wife lovely Mamie, holding flowers, did an amazing job again this year with a concert that so beautifully ushers in the Advent season.

Kentucky natives, Michael and Annie Bolden were the honorees and recipients of this glass hands trophy. The musician and soloists have performed throughout the United States and around the world.

The spectacular boys and girls choirs rendered a number of traditional Christmas carols including "Carol of the Bells," "Behold the Star," "Credo," "The Christmas Song." They performed "Hero," by Mariah Carey and an upbeat rendition, "It Don't Mean A Thing," by jazz great Duke Ellington.

There were special performances by the Love Fellowship Church Liturgical Dance Team, the Christian Academy of Louisville Jazz Band, and the melodious operatic voices of Michael and Annie Bolden. Superintendent John C. Robinson, Sr, Pastor, Bible Way Church of God in Christ gave the invocation. Amber Dixon and Alexandria Bluitt, ages 9 and 10, welcomed everyone, and Christen Boone, President/CEO Fund for the Arts offered expressions of appreciation to the academy. Boys choir member Emmanuel King introduced the honorees. Producer Sherlene Shanklin kept us all on point! This is the third year Bill and I have been a part of this concert that not only enhances the cultural experience of West Louisville youth, but also showcases their gifts and talents. Keep listening for Christmas music by the West Louisville Performing Arts Academy on Praize Power 1350 WLOU and the new Praize 104.7 FM!

Jesus Saves Ministries Feeds Needy Families at Thanksgiving

by Min. Angela Lee Price

I am reminded of what the apostle Paul stated in Acts 20:35 (NIV), "In everything I did, I showed you that by this kind of hard work we must help the weak, remembering the words the Lord Jesus himself said: 'It is more blessed to give than to receive.'" This Thanksgiving, we experienced the blessed joy in giving. Jesus Saves Ministries partnered with Compliments of Ree Hair Salon, located in Mudd Plaza, to provide food baskets to needy families at Thanksgiving. We give a big thank you to Cheri Barlett, owner (Left) for hosting our donations box in her shop. Her clientele responded in a major way with donations even after the deadline. One lady suggested that we include Bibles, something we were already planning to do. We included Daily Bread devotionals in each basket as well. We had a goal to feed five families. However, we exceeded it supplying baskets to a total of seven families, including four families at the Garden Variety Women's Transitional Home.

Here are comments from three recipients:To Whom It May Concern: Jesus Saves Ministries has proven once again that people are what they are all about. I was looking at not having a nice dinner, but because of people like them, and all of the generous donors, my family has received from the Lord both natural nourishment in the form of this food basket and spiritual nourishment in love and enouragment that we we have received, and we are extremely appreciative. God bless you all and Happy Thanksgiving - Mr. and Mrs. Anthony Keith Goatley. (More)
