We want to give a warm welcome this morning to Miss Stacey Sweitzer who joins our staff as Childrens Director.

Stacy is officially on the ground and you will want to meet her and support her in this new ministry. A pounding/shower will be held for Stacey next Wednesday evening at 7PM. Starting this week the builder will once again be mailed to the membership of the church. Although our permit issue has not been resolved, we are going ahead with the mailing at this time. Deadline for any information for the Builder is noon on Wednesday. I am excited as we enter 2013. God is continuing to bless us and only asks for our faithfulness in return. I hope you have resolved to be faithful in attendance, in service and in giving in 2013. Paul WELCOME NEW MEMBERS BY BAPTISM Jacob Sanchez Nourah Holt BY LETTER Ame Sanchez

CHRISTMAS BLESSING
Thanks to our musicians for making the birth of our Savior to us in song. The music of the CHILDRENS CHOIRS, CHANCEL CHOIR, the CAROLSING and the CANDLELIGHT COMMUNION helped us WORSHIP.

I dont know about you, but I am READY for 2013 and the blessings that are coming. I am happy to announce that the church voted to move forward with the Building Project for the new Youth Building. We are so close to our goal and I know that GOD will be faithful to us for the rest. If you have any questions about the building feel free to call me or the property committee. I will be finishing up scheduling for the coming year in a week or so and I will have calendars for everyone to pick up. Be on the lookout for an email and keep an eye on the builder for the notice. We will be branching out into a international mission trip this year. Were going to Honduras on June 4th-11th. This trip is for anyone 16 yrs old and up. I am encouraging as many as possible to take part. If you are interested you will need to come to a mandatory meeting today, January 6th, at 4:00 in the youth room. You must attend this meeting to be eligible to go. This is a great opportunity for some adults to participate along side of your children. It will be life changing If you havent noticed, our student ministry has made Inside Out t -shirts, long sleeve shirts and even hoodies. These are to promote our ministry within the community as well as a way of helping us raise money for our Honduras trip in the summer. The t-shirts are $10, the long sleeves are $15, and the hoodies are $20. If you are interested, please see me or Alli Guy.
