May God be with each of you as we start the year of 2026!
Keep each other in prayer. Pray for God’s guidance in each other’s lives. Thank God for everything He has done for us and continues to do for us.
Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge this rather, that no man put a stumbling block or an occasion to fall in his brother’s way. Romans 14:13

The Jamie Niffen family Christmas was held on Saturday, December 20, at the Bowling Green Visitor’s Center in Bowling Green, Missouri, with 29 in attendance. It was a beautiful day to have had this. This is a very nice facility and has a pond behind it. And when we were there, I’m sure there were well over a hundred geese at this partly frozen pond. I never saw that many geese in one place before. Those there were: Brittany and Kyle Larson, Kendell, McCoy, Nash, and Lynnex of Troy, Missouri; Brooke Niffen and Evan of Moscow Mills, Missouri; James and Amanda Niffen and Shayla of Annada, Missouri; Nathan Davis and Lori Capps, both of Pittsfield, Illinois; Mary and Sean Massie, Bailey Weber, Jacob Niffen and Katy Patton with Isabella, Braven, Boston, Oliver, Oakland, and Gwendolyn, and Tracy Niffen with Mike and Allie, all of Bowling Green; and Wyvetta Davis and Jamie Niffen of New Salem.
Our Christmas family get together was held at the home of Wyvetta Davis and Jamie Niffen on Christmas Eve day. Those who attended were Nathan Davis, Jacqueline Mefford, Wess Davis, and Reese Davis and Tyler Grover. Everyone enjoyed a noon meal of homemade taco soup followed by gifts and games.
