One of their favorite things to do as a family is to have adventures together whether it is spending time on their family fish site in Alaska (where this picture was taken) or going on family “Destination Unknowns” (most recently to Disneyland). They are going to miss the significant ministry happening at College Church, but are really looking forward to this new family adventure and being a part of what God is doing through Boise First. Their first Sunday will be December 14. J N AMPA P ASTOR RETIRES O n October 26 Nampa First Church Pastor Kent Conrad announced his retirement effective January 1, 2015.

T ATTENDANCE T his is the theme for our Thanksgiving Offering this year. This important offering each year goes to the World Evangelism Fund to h help support our missionaries and the mission work around the world. When we look to the Old Testament and see how the people of God w were thankful and they brought offerings to the Temple to thank HIM, aare we any different in bringing our “Thank Offerings” today?

Blessings to all, Carolita Fraley Intermountain NMI President TRINITY PINES BEFORE PHASE II B efore we can proceed with Phase II of the Conference Center remodel at Trinity Pines, we have one very large obstacle. That is the transformer located on the west side of the building. The transformer is in the direct path of the remodel which means it has to be moved. This is not a small or easy task and definitely not without a cost. The estimate from Idaho Power to do the work, and the electrical company to re-connect the necessary power sources is $30,000. The excavation of the road, installation of a water culvert, etc. will be done by Trinity Pines staff. t Share the Dream VIII, we generated nearly one-third of the costs ($9,800) affiliated with this project. The work had to be scheduled with Idaho Power crews and is slated for the middle of November. The work will interrupt power service for a few hours to the Conference Center but an alternative power source will be in place. If you would like to financially give to this project, please clearly identify your gift as Transformer. A Rick Waitley Camp Executive Director For the harvests of the Spirit,thanks be to God. For the good we all inherit,thanks be to God. For the wonders that astound us, for the truths that still confound us, most of all that love has found us, thanks be to God.
