[music] [voice off camera] Baptism is the gateway into the church. Jesus Christ, who is our model in faith and conduct, was baptized of John in the Jordan.

00:05:26.720 - 00:06:17.200

And he has commanded his disciples to preach the gospel and to baptize all disciples. We come now to carry out that command, to administer blessed baptism to those who have professed faith in him and who have made the decision to be obedient to his will. The first is Wendy Seidel, age seven. The father is here with us if there are

00:06:17.200 - 00:06:46.880

other members of the family, the mother is here also. If there are others who are in the audience who have been instrumental in Wendy making this decision for Christ we'd like for you to stand at this time. Wendy, upon confession of your faith in Christ, I baptize you, my sister, in the name of

[Music] Therefore, let us not sleep as do others, but let us watch and be sober. For day is a season, day is a night, and day is the beginning of the end of the night. But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love,

00:18:34.940 - 00:18:52.440

and for a helmet, the hope of salvation. [All] So God, if I and one another were glad, [All] would there be so many salvations for our Lord Jesus Christ, [Pastor] who died for us, that whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with Him.

00:18:52.440 - 00:19:32.960

[All] And may the Lord at my commandment and my will always be with me, [All] to give every man for all his good works shall be good. [Music] [Chorus singing]

00:19:32.960 - 00:20:16.640

Amen. This is the children's hour. All of the children in the congregation from the kindergarten level through the fifth grade are asked to come forward at this time.

00:20:16.640 - 00:20:52.040

Jesus said, "Suffer the little children to come unto me. Forbid them not for such is the kingdom of heaven." Again he said to his disciples, "Unless you change and become like a little child, you cannot enter the kingdom of heaven. Train up a child the way that he should go. When he is old

00:20:52.040 - 00:21:39.240

he will not depart from it. When I was a child, I thought as a child, I understood as a child. [Bells ringing] Could you tell me what is the day in December that you remember best?

00:21:39.240 - 00:21:58.120

Christmas, Christmas, Christmas, Christmas, Christmas. And what do you remember about Christmas? You get a lot of presents. All right. And what do we wait for on Christmas?

00:21:59.320 - 00:22:09.760

Santa Claus? Uh-huh. That's what I want to talk about is waiting. Waiting.

00:22:09.760 - 00:22:27.760

Sometimes when we wait it seems like a long, long time when we wait. Now we are waiting for Christmas. And we have quite a number of days and we count those days until

00:22:27.760 - 00:23:11.560

comes. Well this is the season that we celebrate that has to do with waiting for the coming of Jesus. For it is at Christmas time that we celebrate his birth. And usually we wait for something that we have been promised. So God had promised to send a son, his son, into the world long, long before, even when Adam and Eve sinned in the Garden of Eden,

00:23:11.560 - 00:23:46.600

God had made a promise that he would save his people through the seed, through the family, human family he would send someone. And so he talked about this promise. He mentions it to Abraham and then he mentions it also we find him mention it to David and all down through the years. And then we come to the time of the last book in the Old Testament.

00:23:46.600 - 00:24:10.260

That's the book of Malachi. And there the man of God says, "The Lord whom you seek will suddenly come to his temple." And then there was some 300 years after that, the people were still waiting for the coming of Jesus.

00:24:10.260 - 00:24:38.420

So when we wait, we need to be prepared for that for which we wait. This is a time of preparation. And we really prepare for Jesus in the way that we live each day. We should have our minds with good thoughts, our hands doing good work, so that he comes

00:24:38.420 - 00:25:00.440

into our lives that we might be more and more like him. That's the way to wait for Christmas. We wait not just for what we may receive in the way of gifts, but we wait for what we may receive in the way

00:25:00.440 - 00:25:21.580

of having our lives farmed more like Jesus, the one for whom we wait. Let us bow our heads. Gracious God, our Father, help us to wait for Jesus

00:25:21.580 - 00:25:32.680

in the way that is pleasing to you, so that we may be prepared for his coming. In Jesus' name we ask it. Amen.

00:35:34.180 - 00:36:18.980

[The President is shown standing in the room.] The mercy of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him and his righteousness unto children's children to such as keep his covenant and to those that remember his commandments to do them.

00:36:18.980 - 00:36:50.660

In presenting your child for dedication to God, do you confess your faith in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior and according to this confession also acknowledge your duty to bring this child up in the fear and admonition of the Lord so that this child may later of own free choice confess faith in Jesus Christ and accept

00:36:50.660 - 00:37:24.260

him as personal Savior uniting with the church through baptism and dedicating the life of service to God. If it is your purpose to so rear this child, you will answer, "We do." Inasmuch as this responsibility cannot be discharged by parents alone and must be shared by all of us since we all for good or ill shall

00:37:24.260 - 00:37:52.660

exercise influence upon them, God grant that we may earnestly assume with these parents the responsibilities for the Christian training of this child and all children. And so if you as members of this church and community in so far as you can and are willing so to do in assisting, you will then rise and join

00:37:52.660 - 00:38:34.660

your hearts in a prayer of dedication for this child. May we stand? Gracious God our Father we recognize that you give all life comes from you and this new gift which has come into this family is a blessing from your hand. And so we come now to present that blessing to you, making the pledge that in every way we will

00:38:34.660 - 00:39:12.820

seek to direct this child in the way that you would have the child to walk, knowing full well that that fullness of life is in that life which is given to us in Jesus Christ. So we pray that you would grant that this child may grow even as Jesus grew in wisdom, in stature, and in favor with God and man. Amen. You may be seated.

00:39:12.820 - 00:39:43.920

00:45:02.760 - 00:45:31.960

The program will start at 345 p.m. Our guest will be the Austin Citywide Youth Chorus and soloist Joe Carroll Moffitt. Special guests for the afternoon will be the dynamic and versatile Houston Post Office Chorale. Please come and help us spread God's love through music on December 7th at

Please consult your bulletin for the announcements but I would like to stop just here and say that once again the

00:46:02.040 - 00:46:25.120

Ebenezer family lived up to its true tradition by mobilizing its efforts and making the annual food drive a big success. Strong praise the sister Ada Ada Washington, she's my circle teacher number one, and Sister Eunice Sneed,

00:46:25.120 - 00:46:42.320

Martha's Circle, mission two. Brother Gary McNeil, who answered our every beck and call. And Reverend Griffin came up just in time

00:46:42.320 - 00:46:57.760

to help us load. (audience laughing) And I want to tell you that I did not know that preachers could carry so many big, heavy bags

00:46:57.760 - 00:47:13.900

of groceries, also boxes. I think we had about 16 big, heavy bags of groceries and eight or 10 big, heavy boxes. And they worked through the whole operation.

00:47:15.200 - 00:47:47.200

Then our big inspiration came from this very good-looking young man who came along with his grandmother, our president, Sister Smith. He brought his game toys, positioned himself right in the middle of things, and worked through the whole operation without a single complaint. Then, Brother Neil, McNeil, Gary, went all the way with us. He went on to the place and helped unload.

00:47:47.200 - 00:48:05.200

Thank you so much for helping. We asked for baby food, and you really sent baby food. And I know you must feel good about this, because I do, too. Then, we have these--I have cards for these persons.

00:49:06.220 - 00:49:30.840

We are certainly happy to have each one of our guests present with us today as well as all of the members of this congregation to worship the Lord. On the 17th of January there is to be a special election of the Community College

00:49:30.840 - 00:49:55.760

The community college has in a very short time become one of the largest community colleges in the country. We're expecting that by this time that we would have maybe 5,000 students. Instead, the community college has 20,000 students.

00:49:55.760 - 00:50:26.820

And one of the purposes, if you may remember, when we were asking you to vote for the college, was that we would have more people who are on the margin of society who do not get training, that they would be able to receive through that channel training and also the first opportunity to go on to complete senior college work.

00:50:26.820 - 00:50:40.720

And the community college has done that. It has gotten a large number of minorities, as well as others. It not only serves us, but it serves the entire community,

00:50:40.720 - 00:50:51.920

every segment of this community. It is one of the reasons we're able to attract industry, because the community college provides training courses,

00:50:51.920 - 00:51:04.920

that new industries that come into town want, whatever those courses may be, that will help them to do their work, we have that provided through the college.

00:51:04.920 - 00:51:18.920

It now has reached a point that we need to have a tax base, and that will involve providing the kind of campus that's needed

00:51:18.920 - 00:51:31.360

for further growth. reached a point now where it's necessary for the college to turn away students. So what we are doing is helping ourselves in

00:51:31.360 - 00:51:53.980

making it possible for this college to grow. It's going to cost something, but the returns for what you invest are far greater than the cost. If there's anything we as a need, and this is one of the things that makes Austin a growing city and a very, very

00:51:53.980 - 00:52:13.540

attractive city in many ways is what it offers in the way of education. There would be a special board for the college and it's necessary for petitions to be signed in order for this to be done. We have only a few days in which this may be done.

00:52:13.540 - 00:52:25.260

I think someone has Those petitions. Where are they? Just a Coleman. Do you have them? All right with them the ushers

00:52:25.260 - 00:52:51.280

circulate those the information Regarding that and persons who will do so sign those petitions while you are here Sister Ada Anderson, he was a member of our church. He was present in the earlier service is one of the seven trustees that will be on the ballot when we vote to

00:52:51.280 - 00:53:12.560

provide a tax base as well as a new board for the community college. So remember that and try to

00:53:14.640 - 00:53:39.000

help this college maintain the status and continue to grow that it might be able to render the service that is needed in this community. We have had a great week. We started on last Sunday night with our Fifth Sunday program,

00:53:40.280 - 00:53:54.280

which was presented by the Baptist Young Women and the reports which were made on that occasion. And when we were recognizing those circles in Mission One, I

00:53:54.280 - 00:54:18.700

failed to recognize the circle that had led as far as what was done in the way of the financial contribution. that was circle number one that had first place and that's just the Mamie Elder's circle and I just want you all to see the members of that circle sister Elder and the members of circle number one

00:54:18.700 - 00:54:36.360

She's back there ushering with her hand up and the other members of that circle. Would you just stand of circle number one? All right, let's all say amen Now we Appreciate all that has been done you have in your bulletin

00:54:36.360 - 00:54:49.920

This week the full report of what was done in connection with that Evening and then we observed Lottie

00:54:49.920 - 00:55:10.020

moon Foreign mission emphasis and We had a glorious time all of the groups participated. I do not have at my command the figures, I believe, mission number two, and, uh, possibly led, I don't know whether that was for finance,

00:55:10.020 - 00:55:30.820

but all of the missions, mission one, mission two, and the Brotherhood, and the Baptist Young Women that supported us. But we had good attendance each night, and the program preparation and presentation made it a a very good week in every way.

00:55:30.820 - 00:55:42.860

And I'm grateful to all of you for what you have done in making this one of the significant observances in the life of our church. I have another, uh,

00:55:42.860 - 00:55:54.460

word to say concerning our budget. We, uh, have the report. This is an unaudited figure. Auditor will have these, uh, figures, uh,

00:55:54.460 - 00:56:16.380

uh, we'll give it, have his report in a few days. And we'll have these figures going over. We had a budget of $180,000, I believe, and we, according to these unaudited figures here of the Secretary, we came within $388 of reaching our budget. And I think that's doing marvelously well.

00:56:16.380 - 00:56:28.660

So we can all say amen to that, you know. And We did that with about half of the people of this church not contributing each month

00:56:28.660 - 00:56:44.940

Now that shows you what we can do This bulletin contains only the names of the people who contributed and it's very it's much

00:56:44.940 - 00:56:59.040

Smaller because we left off maybe some four or five hundred names at least five hundred names so And in the future we are going to leave those names off. We hope that we will be looking

00:56:59.040 - 00:57:22.040

and directing our attention as I said in the letter which you have on the outside here toward those persons that they might recognize the cost of belonging. We are beginning a new year and we are asking that as we make new beginnings, we make a fresh start, that we take fresh stock of ourselves.

00:57:22.720 - 00:57:34.120

I've asked brother Van Dyke and brother Junior Smith to check with each one of the deacons and we have certain responsibilities for the deacons to fulfill and

00:57:34.120 - 00:57:50.160

we want to get a word from each one of them as to whether they are going to be able to be active in the fulfillment of those responsibilities. We are asking the same thing for the training union and for the Sunday school as far as the officers are concerned.

00:57:51.080 - 00:58:16.720

As we begin again, we would hope that this will be the kind of beginning that will indicate that we are going to have even a bigger and better year ahead. Tonight at 7 o'clock, we are going to have the

00:58:16.720 - 00:58:26.840

meeting of the deacons and trustees. My brothers, I think maybe the Cowboys will be through [Chuckles] by that time.

00:58:26.840 - 00:58:48.160

And all of us can be here and address the things, the deacons and trustees, at 7 o'clock. As you look at this, this report in your budget,

00:58:48.160 - 00:59:07.280

If there's any person here who notices that there is an error in your account, would you raise your hand? Any person, if there's something in this bulletin regarding to your contribution that is incorrect, right here, would you give me that name and that amount at the close of the service, please? Just one person. All right.

00:59:07.280 - 00:59:34.100

All right. Is it in the bulletin? All right. The Concord Chapel choir will be in Round Rock three o'clock. What I want is that every person in every group, if you're planning something for this month, to see to it that it is on the church calendar,

00:59:34.100 - 00:59:51.460

whatever it may be. And we want to have on the 19th, we will have a church banquet involving Mission One, Two, the Brotherhood, the Choir, and the

00:59:51.460 - 01:00:01.260

leaders of the social committees for those organizations are asked to meet with the pastor. Now

01:00:01.260 - 01:00:27.840

we will be saying more about that, but instead of having several different affairs we will just be having one at that time. On December the 10th at 8 p.m. The BTU workers and leaders will be meeting here at the church. The Ebenezer Baptist Church Band will meet for band rehearsal

01:00:27.840 - 01:00:55.360
