Thank you to everyone who served in someway and was involved in helping glorify the Lord, through our joint Christmas Eve gathering with the Byron Baptist Church. It's never just a one or two man show, and speaking on behalf of myself and Pastor Gary, we could not imagine doing this without such supporting congregations. An estimated 375 people came out and we can be certain that not every heart in the room belongs to the Lord Jesus. Please join me in praying for all of the souls that came out in whose life we had the honor of planting and watering the gospel seed.

As a new year approaches, I am praying for you as a people and for us as a church. I'm praying that we will continue seeking to glorify the name of the Lord, to edify and build up the church, and to lead lost souls closer to the cross of Christ and the life that we have found in Him.

I'm looking forward to worshipping with you one last Sunday this decade. I hope you will join us Sunday as we share communion and reflect on what the Lord has done and look forward to what he will do. I'll see you Sunday!

Grace & Peace,
John
