Birthdays My family and I wish to thank you all for your generous Christmas Gift! Thank you so much for not only our gifts, but for being such a wonderful and loving church family. Blessings to you all on this holiday season. We are excited to begin another new year together. Blessings, Derik Hamby

Thank you for your generous Christmas gift and for all of your love and support in 2015! It has been an exciting year, and I look forward to seeing how God will move in the year ahead! Love, Cadance Tyler

It’s a new year and new beginnings come with this time. You are reading our newsletter delivered in a new way and presented in a new format. Thanks to Linea for designing what you are reading. This new year brings new beginnings for us all. What we decide to make of this year is not all in our control but how we respond to the

year is truly up to us. I pray that we as individuals and as a church will look at the potential and possibility that 2016 might present. May this be a year where we commit to growing in our faith and reaching out to others with God’s love. May this be a year that even when we face trials and struggles we do so with the peace that only God can offer.

And so join me, RMBC, as we head into the future that God is preparing for our church family. Derik
