If you missed the Annual Christmas Luncheon on December 3, you missed a GREAT ONE! The Luncheon began with all the Port O’Connor School children singing their hearts out! Led by long-time teacher, Judy Anderson, the children wowed the audience.

The Community Center was professionally decorated from floor to ceiling in the finest way possible. The food was above the finest and the desserts were out of this world! The service of drinks by members of the Service Club was extremely professional. After everyone had been served, the excitement went to the Door Prizes. Wow! The Door Prizes were terrific and beautifully decorated.

I was completely shocked and surprised when the CITIZEN OF THE YEAR AWARD was announced by Pat Ekstrom. I was listening to her words as she described the accomplishments of the person getting the award and it closely resembled a lot of the jobs I do around Port O’Connor, and finally Pat said the award person was Me, Doyle Adams! I was stunned, but made my way up to accept the award. I thank the Port O’Connor Service Club was for this award and will continue to give my 100% support to all Port O’Connor activities in the future. Yes, it was an extremely successful 2016 Annual Christmas Luncheon. The Port O’Connor Service Club can be proud of the SPECIAL EVENT!

The 25th annual Lighted Boat Parade was a real delight to watch, as it is each year.

On December 8th, the church van was loaded up for our annual visit to the Cuero Christmas lights. This was an exciting trip, as usual.

The Church Special Christmas Service is Sunday morning, December 18, at 11:00 a.m. The Choir will be singing and reading the Christmas Story and combine it with “The Lord’s Supper”. This outstanding service is open to everyone to enjoy. Invite your family and neighbors and come at 11:00 a.m.

On Sunday evening at 6:00 p.m. in Fellowship Hall, we will have our quarterly BIRTHDAY BASH! We will celebrate with everyone having a birthday in October, November and December. Finger foods will be available, along with desserts and then comes the “White Elephant” Christmas Party – a gift exchange of “strange gifts”. So wrap up any “ole worn out gift” and come! You will be glad you did.

See you in church Sunday!
