Old Year Out, New Year In

I went on my blog site and found out it's been over a month since I last updated. The holidays have a way of interferring with the non-essentials - like blogging! No excuses for not 'Tweeting' more often since that is quick and easy.

We have finished a fantastic year at The Rock Church (TRC) in Monroe WA. We have had good growth in the church body, many new volunteers came into the Guest Services Team and we (TRC) were given a church building and site in Lake Stevens, mortgage-free and clear, about 10 miles west of Monroe where we plan to have our first services at 10:30am Sunday, January 11th. Before that first service, though, we have much cleaning, sprucing-up and re-configuration of some of the building rooms, including a make-over of the worship center. So God is good and His mercy endures forever.

Now we are looking for a break-out in this year of new beginnings, 2009. I am determined to have a listening ear to God's direction for my life, both spiritual and secular. Yes God is God no matter what part of my life I am involved in. I want to learn how to be consistant in my worship in all facets of life.

Prayers for 2009: God's protection for my entire family; a hedge about the children; a desire to press into the kingdom by the adults (including Gr'pa & Gr'ma); continued growth at the TRC campuses; financial commitment by the church body to fund these locations; people to be moved to attend the new LS campus; and finally, many salvations and re-commitments to the Lord in the worldwide church. There are many more prayers, including those of thanksgiving, praise and worship to the King of Kings and Lord of Lords.

See you in the new year.
