experience. Casey is shown wearing her Olympic bronze medal with some of the archery students at LAMS.

Facing Opposition
Author: Wenger
Scripture: Nehemiah 4:9“But we prayed to our God, and because of them we set up a guard against them day and night.”
Nehemiah’s problem:
Nehemiah faced opposition from three different fronts: trouble from enemies without, workman within and fellow Jews.
Trouble from enemies without:
The faithful Jews had to face ridicule and criticism from the unbelieving Sanballat and Tobiah who
mocked them before the people and the armies. You can be sure everyone was laughing. They attacked their person calling them “feeble.” They criticized the project saying the walls would be weak and unsuitable construction “if a fox walks on the wall it will crumble.”
As a believer, you will always face opposition from the world. This is true for the believer in their personal life as well as any work for God’s glory. All that brings true glory to God will face hostility, objection and obstruction in this world; it can be no other way. What does the scripture say in 2
Timothy 3:12? All that live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. The Bible says in John 15:18, 19, “If the world hates you, you know that it has hated Me before it hated you. If you were of the world, the world would love you as its own; but because you are not of
the world, but I chose you out of the world; because of this the world hates you.”
Mocking their person and criticizing the work didn’t stop the project. Now Sanballat and Tobiah take it to the next level… threatening an attack. Nehemiah 4:7, 8, 11 “Now it happened, when Sanballat, Tobiah, the Arabs, the Ammorites and the Ashdodites heard the walls of Jerusalem were being restored and the gaps were beginning to be closed, that they became very angry and all of them conspired together to come and attack Jerusalem and create confusion. Our adversaries said, they will neither know nor see anything, till we come into their midst and kill them and cause the work to cease.” How did Nehemiah handle this…He prayed first, and not as a last resort. Then he used his head and prepared for the worst. Nehemiah 4:9, 13, 18
“Nevertheless we made our prayer to our God, and because of them set a watch against them day and night. I set the people according to their families with their swords, their spears, and their bows. Every one of the builders had his sword girded at his side as he built. Pray first not last, seek Biblical principles and use your head; develop a good plan.”
Trouble from the workers:
Nehemiah 4:10 Then Judah said, “The strength of the laborers is failing, and there is so much rubbish that we are not able to build the wall.” The walls were half completed from the ground level up. It was a pivotal point in the construction… not close enough to see the culmination of the work. Workers were losing enthusiasm from the magnitude of the project and were frightened from the threat of an imminent attack.
Nehemiah stationed the people by families, knowing the workers would defend their family as they should. Next, in verse fourteen, Nehemiah encourages the leader of the people, “Do not be afraid. Remember the Lord, great and awesome, and fight for your brethren, your sons, and your daughters, your wives and your houses.” It was God’s purpose to have the walls and gates rebuilt. He would be their strength and stamina to finish the work. Nehemiah exhorts the people. Remember the Lord, and he then uses two words to describe God… great and awesome. Since God is great, His power is also great and He can enable the people to accomplish the work. They had to be reminded they serve the only true God of the universe. The Bible says in Jeremiah 10:6, “There are none like you O Lord; You are great, and great is your name in might.”
1 Chronicles 29:11 “Yours,
O Lord, is the greatness and the power and the glory and victory and majesty, indeed everything that is in the heavens and earth; Yours is the dominion, O Lord and You exalt Yourself as head over all.” He is also awesome. Psalm 66: 3, 5 reads, “Say to God, How awesome are Your works! Come and see the works of God, Who is awesome in His deeds toward the sons of men. The God who parted the Red Sea, gave manna and water in the wilderness, gave a cloud by day for shade and a pillar of fire by night for heat in the desert will be with you.” We need reminders now and then that our God is great and awesome. He provided the materials to rebuild and He provides the motivation to continue where there is fears and fatigue. Our God is great and awesome.
Next week, we see Nehemiah dealing with the trouble from fellow brethren.
Neighborhood Santa Thanks Community
As Neighborhood Santa closes their 17th year helping local children and their families have a little Christmas, they would like to give huge shout out and thank you to those that continue to support. They want to express their gratitude for your care!
Neighborhood Santa is so thankful to those who bless their program and continue the journey with them. The children and families they were able to help this year were extremely grateful. There are so many of you that help them help those in a hard spot. While, Neighborhood Santa can’t possibly list everyone, please know that you contributed in making a
child and their family have a Merry Christmas!
Thanks to the continued generosity of the community. This program has helped over 1,000 neighborhood children and their families!
Neighborhood Santa makes sure the children all receive among their special requests of toys from Santa – warm blanket, hygiene needs, clothing, coats, hats and gloves, books to read, a stuffed animal and board games. They can do this thanks to your kindness. With the generosity of the donors, they are also able to help provide financial help with utility bills, buy groceries and other needs folks might have. They are so thankful to
Ephrata Area Social Service and their own personal friends and family who generously give up time to help them with this great endeavor you are helping them help neighborhood families who are in a hard spot, to have a wonderful holiday season!
Without the compassion of this community, Neighborhood Santa would not be able to continue their mission: “To continue being able to give Christmas and other holiday traditions to neighborhood children in need.”
Moving forward, they will start preparing for their 18th year in 2025. If you want to help a neighbor, contact them at 7178082185.

cadets and senior members assisted with laying wreaths at the graves of United States Veterans. The remembrance wreath laying ceremony embraces honor and respect for our uniformed service veterans. More than 3 million wreaths were laid countrywide at over 4,900 different locations. The volunteers who participated in this event at Indiantown Gap National Cemetery were there to show their
patriotic appreciation for the thousands of veterans laid to rest. There were over 42,000 wreaths laid at Indiantown Gap National Cemetery.
Wreaths Across America describes its mission as to remember, honor, and teach. They remember the fallen, honor those who serve and their families, and teach the future generations about the price of freedom. This mission is continued year round. When volunteers
lay the wreaths, they are encouraged to say the veteran’s name aloud, thank them for their service and sacrifice, and take a moment to reflect on that person and their life.
Jesse Jones Squadron 304 meets each Monday (except holidays) at 7:00 p.m. in the Venture Jets hangar, which is located on the airport near the intersection of Lititz Pike and Millport Road. Visitors are always welcome.

Jayden also loves getting involved with sports. Last year Jayden played soccer through school, and they were undefeated champs! He also played volleyball and basketball with HMS, and baseball with the Bowmansville league. He even played all the sports he could in fifth grade.
Written by: Trent Weaver
Jaden also participated in the HMS Robin Hood play, and plans to act in the play this year. He even participated in a special role in Charlotte’s Web when he was in fifth grade that no other fifth grader was allowed to do.
