God has reminded us in Deuteronomy 8:17-18, “But thou shalt remember the LORD thy God, for it is He that has given you,” all the blessings of this past year.

This was a year when our congregation helped plant two churches, one in Puerta de Golpe, Nicaragua and the other in Las Costanias, Honduras. The bulk of the Honduran population lives a generally isolated existence in mountainous areas. Pastor Huck, Pastora and Chad traveled into these remote Indian villages to perform the dedication services, baptisms, and pray over the people who were previously meeting outdoors. We sent two teams packing Connex boxes loaded with supplies to Africa for Charlotte Barkley with Bush Telegraph Missions.

Another wonderful crowd enjoyed our Passover celebration revealing Jesus in the Seder meal. We had guest speakers like Daniel Ted of Christian Islamic Dialogue and Pastor John Higgins who was an eyewitness to the Jesus Movement beginnings at Calvary Chapel in 1965. Agents For Christ shared their class on evangelizing the United States and Teen Challenge, our locally supported mission, appeared twice sharing their miracle stories and conversions.

God provided for the completion of our rock wall in the sanctuary, the remodeled wall in the fellowship building and a larger stage. We were even able to purchase a much needed storage shed as well.

We enjoyed the blessings of Men’s and Women’s retreats this fall and “Brian Has the Bacon” made a strong comeback. Daisey Mountain Fire Department offered the AED and First Aid course. Dr. Paw provided a naturopathic remedy and prevention class to ward off colds and flus. The Young Adult Class with Chad has become a much needed launching pad for the younger generation to serve in our church.

We experienced well-attended “Come Home for Christmas” and “Christmas Candlelight Services,” and our worship team began to grow also. Therefore, it is only right to thank our Providing Lord for these blessings, and many more, lest we become spoiled brats assuming we did any of it by our own power.

Glory to God
Pastor Huck
