Well, 2011 is almost to a close. We are now in the middle of the the holiday season. God has blessed all of us in so many ways. He has clothed and fed us and has kept our families safe. Not only from the evilness of the world, but from the horrors that Satan can put in our lives. This does not mean that we have not had trials or tribulation in our lives. Nor does it mean that we have not seen sickness in our family or had a death. But all of us can say with a sincere and loving heart, that God has always been there. He has always been standing in the shadows, waiting there to give us the strength and grace that we need to get through each trial.

The following is a list of blessings that God has blessed each person and each family in our church:
