Central Region Christmas Party!

We had a great Christmas party last week.  Pastor Fay led the event, which was hosted at Calvary.  Pastor Fay had some great games, our Samoan brothers and sisters provided entertainment with music and island dancing.  It was awesome!  Brother Moe brought a powerful word to us, and Rachel from MCA cooked all the food for this event. It was incredible!  It was a rich time of fellowship together.Here are some pictures, which were taken by the Ganeys.

PK/MK Retreat!

The PKs and MKs are out at Little Beaver right now, have a great retreat!  Mark and his team put together a great time for the 60 or so Pastor's and Missionaries kids from around the state.  Thanks to all the leaders who are helping out and the churches who put out money to help the kids get there.  We have great PKs and MKs and appreciate them very much!  Pastor Bill and Dori were able to go out last night to greet them.

Christmas Season!

It's the beginning of the Christmas season!  This is a very busy and exciting time for churches.  We put up the Christmas tree at the Network Office yesterday.  Today we had our annual 1048 Building Christmas Party, and invited our tenants to join in with us.  We are blessed with great tenants who lease space in our building.  What a blessing!  Here are some pictures of the party today.
