Happy New Year!

We hope that everyone has a blessed new year. We're keeping busy as usual with Eric preaching twice this month, taking over teaching the confirmation class and beginning a new study on the book of Revelation for his young adult Sunday morning class. Choir had a short hiatus and we are now gearing up for the new year and will soon be working on our Easter material. The MOPS group is going really well and we are now focusing on getting out into the community a little bit more. We want to be able to bring in new moms who may be unchurched as well as do some community service. It's such a blessing to have other moms who are excited about this project as well. Our Christmas holiday was wonderful with both Eric and my families coming up to Palm Coast. We had quite the full house, but it was great to see everyone all together. Ben is amazing us all the time with how much he is getting around and how interested he is in exploring everything. He's also talking a lot more now and says, "Hi Dad" when Eric gets home. Last Sunday I had Ben up at the altar for communion and just as Eric was giving the dismissal, Ben yells out, "HI DAD!" The pastor and I looked at each other and just cracked up. What a funny little boy.
