BARKER’S BYTES….
THANK YOU! First, let me share my sincere thanks for the Christmas
cards, gifts and acts of kindness shown to my family. Your
thoughtfulness is very much appreciated. Each year is always a surprise
as to what things you do and give to us, but most of all it is your love for
my family and I that stands out the most.
===================================================
Share with me in welcoming a new arrival to the family of
Derek & Danielle Wood and FCC. Her name is Ava Lynn
Wood, weighing 8 lbs. and 13 oz. and she stands 20 inches
tall. Ava was born on Sunday January 4, 2015. She is as
beautiful as she is smart.
Congratulations Danielle and Derek!
VACATION PLANS

Blayne White graduate from the Marine Corp on Jan. 16. If you need
anything in my absence please call the office or our Church Board Pres.
Tammy Heimer or the elders chair Bill Hams or the deacon chair Mel

God’s Peace
-Pastor Steve
Today was a special day in our life. We
returned home where our values began.
While sitting on the side of the church that
was our home we wondered and discussed
how it was in comparison to the past. The seat pads
and the screen projector, the names we knew;
however it was the children, the grandchildren and
time that replaced our memories. Yes, we walked our
wedding path and sealed our baptism of faith. For
our two daughters it has been the building blocks for
their future. Speaking for the Hicks family it was a
beautiful service and we all say “Thank You”.
Always the very best,
Beth and Bud Youle
P.S. Philip would be very proud
Sunday, December 14 was a “red” letter day for my sister
and me. Seldom does one experience such an occasion
for special recognition of a family member, while also
feeling the warmth of kinship at the church of our
upbringing. The thoughtfulness and remembrances you
and the congregation portrayed to us will never be
forgotten. We thank you for providing the opportunity to
allow us to bring our father closer to us so that we might
better remember his image. The other families surely felt
the same. The service, music and celebration of the third
Sunday in Advent, “Love” would cause one to believe in
the providence of worshipful memories.
Gratefully,
Lettie Hicks Diekroeger
