FROM THE PULPIT TO THE PEW AS THE OLD YEAR FADES IN TO THE MISTS OF THE PAST, LETS TAKE A MOMENT TO LOOK BACK AT OUR JOURNEY THROUGH 2008. WE HAD FOUR BAPTISMS, FOUR TRANSFERS, ONE WEDDING & ONE NENEWAL OF WEDDING VOWS. WE HAD AN AVERAGE ATTENDANCE OFAPPROXIMATELY FORTY-ONE A WEEK. WE PUT NEW PANELING IN THE FELLOWSHIP HALL, BOUGHT NEW TABLES & CHAIRS, BUILT A STORAGE ADDITATION ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF CHURCH & INSTALLED A NEW THERMOST. OUR YOUNG YOUTH GROUP IS STRONG & ACTIVE THANKS TO ELLEN, KERRY BROOKE, DEBBIE & LE-ANN & THE LADIES WHO HELP & COOK DINNER FOR THEM. WE HAVE A WENDSDAY NIGHT BIBLE STUDY. WE HAVE A MINISTRY AT HILLVIEW NURSING HOME ON THE THIRD MONDAY OF EACH MONTH AT TWO P.M. WE THANK GOR FOR THE BLESSING IN OUR LIVES & OUR CHURCH IN THE PAST YEAR & THAT HE TOOK THE PRAYERS FOR THOSE WE LIFTED UP TO HIS THRONE OF GRACE & ANSWERED THEM IN HIS WISDOM & MERCY. AND NOW AS THE OLD YEAR FADES INTO THE MISTS OF THE PAST & THE NEW YEAR OPENS UP BEFORE US, LET US GO FORTH WITH HIM WHO SAYS "BEHOLD, I MAKE ALL THINGS NEW & I WILL BE WITH YOU EVEN TO THE END OF THE AGE. YOURS IN CHRIST GALEN
