We have bee SO busy lately!  We are on week 5 of 5 weeks in a row with teams.  Much ministry has been happening, but we’ve had little time to blog.  Our whole family just returned from a few days out in Astruc with a team from The Orchard so I thought I’d take a few minutes and post some favorite pics of the trip.      Rob’s getting pretty good at photo editing too!  Here are 2 really good pics of the pastor’s daughters: ~Becky

I am dancing a jig.  If you could see me now!  (Actually, I am glad you can’t see me because I can’t dance! It’s quite a sight!) We are FULLY SUPPORTED!  Due to the generous donations of so many, we can say we are fully supported going into this new year. Thank you to our monthly donors. Thank you to those who have given special gifts. We can’t express our gratitude.  We can’t begin to explain our appreciation.  We can’t describe to you how supported/loved we feel. Thank you.
