Hi Friends,
We just closed the books for 2008, and once again I find myself at a loss for words to describe the gratitude in my heart for you. During what has been a difficult year for many, God has used your gifts to extend His gospel in some wonderful ways. 
We’ve not only welcomed numerous guests each Sunday, but have added four new community groups and embraced 112 new members. With rooms filled to overflowing, we also added a classroom wing and in the process of expanding the foyer, seminar room and kitchen. All of this in the midst of economic downturn! By God’s grace, we’ve helped others with over $20,000 in benevolence and gifts and invested $153,000 in evangelism and missions–seeing the Gospel extended to the ends of the world!
So as you receive your statement of contributions in the days ahead, please consider the great good that your faithful giving has done in extending God’s care in very personal ways. On behalf of the pastors, thank you for honoring God through your life and giving. To Him be glory forever and ever!
With deep appreciation,
Gene
