Hello Everyone!

I want to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

As I look back over this past year I am so amazed at the faithfulness of God! It is so good to know that He is always right there to bring things to pass and to make things happen!

The church building project is still moving forward as we’re looking to obtain our construction drawings and get them out for bid. The construction of the building should start around April of 2010. We know God will supply all of our needs!

This Christmas is going to be fun as our grandchildren are getting older and their excitement is great. Of course Kelly and Jackie have a lot of excitement too! Sarah and Isaac won't be able to come home this Christmas so Esther and I will be flying out to see them right after Christmas. I am so blessed with wonderful children and their spouses!

I want to finish this year strong and go into the next with full steam ahead! I just have a sense that 2010 is going to be a banner year for the church! I am sure there will be changes and surprises because that is what every New Year brings!

I hope you are working on your list for things you are believing God to do for you next year!

Love,
Pastor Mark and Esther Butler
