Blessings to You at this Christmas Time!

As we give and receive gifts this Christmas time, may we remember the greatest gift of all - The gift of God's son Jesus Christ. Have a wonderful Christmas with family and friends. Please pray for our camp friends and the staff that will be working with us this summer. Danielle has begun recruitment for another year. 

Also pray for our year-end giving. That God will bless us with more that we can ever imagine.
