19 Years!

I spent the entire day Saturday putting together a recap of the past year of our church. We actually started this 19th year with significant heartache, but as I put together that video, I realized just how much fun and building and advancing we've done! I mean, we made Christmas happen for over 500 kids; we went to 3 nations; our senior pastors did their first series together on the platform; we joined with 1500 other churches in the One Prayer effort, and sent $80,000 to plant churches in developing nations; we did 99 Days of serving and did a full-on community blitz that we have continued on. Plus, we have had countless salvations, some incredbile new people join the ranks, an this next Vision Class has 70 people registered! All I can say is "Beauty for Ashes." Rock ON!

This year started out kind of like the farmers fields in the winter. All you see is the dirt, but once the fruit begins to grow, nobody sees the dirt anymore, just the harvest. Our God, our church and our pastors (including you Pash) are so awesome!
