Blast From The Past–Ben Longberg

When you have pastored the same church for over 10 years it is great when former attender’s stop by when visiting over the holidays.

Ben Longberg, and his new wife Kelly, showed up this past Sunday.  Typical Ben, he showed up late for the 11:30 service, and we weren’t even having one that day!

Merry Christmas–Photo Card and Letter

As we look back on 2010, we realize that without the grace and salvation from our Savior Jesus Christ, we would have nothing. Without great friends and family, we would have even less.

We look forward to connecting with you (in person, Facebook, etc.) somehow someway in 2011.
