                   Peg and I want to thank the church body for the gifts of the Notepads for Christmas.  They were a total surprise and a blessing as we continue to try to keep somewhat current with modern technology.  As a body, your kindness and thoughtfulness through this year has been such a blessing and always seemed to come at a time when it was the greatest encouragement to us.  As we look forward to a new year, it is a joy to enter it with you!  From a heart attack to a broken foot, paths we would not have chosen for ourselves, but paths God chose, you have been there.  As we travelled those paths, you as a body travelled those paths with us with your help, thoughts and prayers.  Thank you for caring for Peg and through this past year and for the gift of technology! --- Pastor
