Christmas Changes

I am amazed at God. Continually in moments where we have needs, God has not only provided a way--but--an amazingly gifted person to lead or creatively readjust ministry at Hope Church. We have moved many separate ministries into new areas. For example, our prayer ministry is now led by our Elders who pray monthly for our congregational needs. "Gold Folks" became 55 +/-.

Staffing wise, I am so blessed to be surrounded by an amazing team, all focused and 100% invested in doing ministry for the Kingdom of God and with a hunger to LEARN how to do that better. Jared and Jeff Jobes, along with the Deacons, have done a remarkable job with finances. Julie Wondercheck and Breanna Peterson initially signed up for a "season" of ministry with children. I'm glad a season is 15 months plus long. Chris Timson and Ian Shada were unknown quantities to us a year ago. Read, read this:

A year from now don't be surprised to see our church filled with youth and Discipleship happening at every age level.

God has now brought us Madeline Rogers. I personally have been thrilled seeing her gifts, passions, and focus upon the Lord during the last two months of working alongside her. For anyone to hear her sing, listen to her pray, the obvious calling from the Lord upon her life is evident. Madeline brings so much musical and scriptural knowledge I know that our church will be blessed by her presence. You will be as well.

If you haven't been to Hope Church in a while, you're missing out. This Sunday Madeline will be leading and then will start more permanently in 2019. I'm thankful for the treasures of talent Hope has in music ability: Malachi Million, Harry Norman, Carla Sandbulte, Seth Harlan, Andy Essink, Tim Nalley....not to mention our tech-team with so many great projectionists and sound experts. Matthew Hansen and Hannah Reeves always amaze me with their volunteerism. Say a hearty thanks to all of them in this transition. Hope has a bright future ahead thanks to Madeline's leadership, but also because of the dedicated care and love that everyone has for Jesus Christ.

It's because of Him that they've all come here anyway.

Christmas has changed. There are lots of people who are having a hard time enjoying Christmas, especially because of the economy. I know that there are people who can still enjoy Christmas, but I am just not one of them. I truly understand that there are some things that are out of my control, but I am still hoping that life is going to get better. I hope that I can enjoy the idea of life and become a lovable person.
