Way back machine.....


In honor of our friends Kevin and Jackie, Kim and I have decided to join their walk down memory lane with a trip of our own. Set your "way back machine" for 1991. This is one of the first pics of Kim and I at her parents home in Roswell, NM. If you can stop laughing at me for a minute, notice the "charlie brown" christmas tree. You could always tell if Kim's dad picked the tree. He had a fondness for that type. We all hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and we hope you all have a very Blessed New Year.

Remember the Reason for the Season....

As we approach the holidays, I know that many of us will be getting busy, but I encourage each and every one of you to stop and take time to remember what this is all about and why we are doing what we are doing. God gave each of us the greatest gift he could, His Son. So while you are out fighting traffic, arguing with some person to get that perfect parking spot or tring to take the last item off the shelf before someone else does, remember the gift that all of us have been given.

This saturday (the 16th) we will again will be helping out at the Angel Tree distritbution center. We will leave the church at 2:00p and probably work until 5:30p or so. If you would like to go just show up at the church on saturday afternoon. If you would like to go on your own you can call me for directions or you can go to the salvation army website. It is a great time of hanging out and helping bless others. Hope to see you there.

Winter camp at B.A.S.I.C. is Jan 12-14. Please be in prayer for those youth that are going. We always have a great time down on the hill, and I am sure that this time won't be any different. Continue to keep Bob and Kim (and Ben) in your prayers for this wonderful ministry that we can be a part of.


Don't forget to keep the kids (and their friends) in your prayers as we get ready to go to Dare2Share this year. I pray and hope that God will move through them like he did last year. It was incredible to see how affected they were. This year we encouraged them to bring a friend, so be praying for that relationship. Also, be in prayer for the city of Columbus as over 6000 teens invade that city spreading the word of God. Finally, be in prayer for the adults going and for the resources to become available for vehicles and the church we are hoping to stay at. Thank you for all you support. If any adults in the body would like to go with us, don't hesitate to contact me. We would love to have you go.
