Year End Reflections!

We have almost come to the end of 2012, and I have to say it has been a wonderful year!

• We have seen some of our dreams come true, like having Ev. Larry Brown preach at our church this year, we have seen a number of people saved almost every month for a period of 2 yrs. Praise the Lord for His working in our church.
• Our revival with Brandon Morris was a tremendous blessing and another wonderful Youth Rally with souls saved. Then our fall revival with Ev. Lou Rossi, brother Brandon's father in law! Man what a preacher. We saw God work again  and still working after revival.

• Our Christmas program this year was from Patch the Pirate, " Christmas Carol " we had a house full, several first time visitors, and the cast did a tremendous job, as well as the children church and teenagers in the youth choir. The little ones were a blessing as they came out in their manger costumes, they were so cute.
• I Love Jesus Sunday was December 23, with Evangelist Mike Renfrow, we 78 in Sunday School and almost 100 in church again,  one saved in the children's church, and Sunday night  a teenager visiting with us for the first time was saved. Glory to God!! God blessed us with a record offering as well for the year, so my cup is full and running over!

 We look forward to 2013 with anticipation, Knowing that God will have many opportunities for us to serve Him. He is coming again, and we wait patiently for His return, but until the trumpet sounds, we must give ourselves to winning the lost and preaching His Word to those that will hear.

Next year our Church theme will be " For such a time as this ". We believe God has us here for a purpose, and we must stay busy and do all we can for Him while we have the time. Our nation needs revival, we pray for a Heaven sent one, and we pray for His hand of mercy to be on our churches that we may see a great harvest won to the Saviour. Please pray for us that we will be all that He would have us to be.
God bless you,
Pastor Taylor
