from the Superintendent

JOY TO THE WORLD THE LORD HAS COME! An angel of the Lord announced to the shepherds in the fields “I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord.” (Luke 2:10-11). The coming of our Savior is the greatest source of joy in the human experience.

My family and I wish you a joyous Christmas.

Merry Christmas from the Terry’s! I cannot believe 2017 is upon us. This past year has been full of blessings once again. We have two beautiful granddaughters, and just celebrated 31 years of marriage. Not only is our family of great importance to us, but we truly love serving our Rocky Mountain Ministry Network family. May God show you his peace, joy

from 2nd Half Adult Ministries

As we come to the close of yet another year--Christmas and the start of the New Year loom on the horizon. We, 2ndHalfers take time to wish you and yours a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Let’s celebrate the

“Reason for the Season” and not all the hype the world would have us see.

If the Lord tarries another year let’s make it the most productive year ever, with a new closeness to the Master, more souls being touched for Him

this new year than ever before.

From the Hoskins house to yours –

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR to one and to all!!!!
