Bob Hines - iMap Ministries

We had a wonderful Sunday with Bob Hines of iMap ministries! It is amazing to see what God is doing through the efforts of iMap. Take a look at http://www.i-map.org to see for yourself!

We had a little audio difficulty with Bro. Hines' sermon but it was so good that I posted it on our church website anyway. The audio is a little muffled but well worth a listen!

Missions Month Begins!

We began our annual Missions Month on Sunday with Ernie and Hilda Harman, Missionaries to Mexico. Bro. Harman presented a powerful message on our need to love God fully as we attempt to reach out to the World for Him! You can hear his message on our sermon page! http://gateway-baptist.org/listen.html

We are excited to hear from Bob Hines with iMap ministries http://i-map.org/ next week!

Sorry for the down time!

I had some health problems that landed me in the hospital for a few days and in bed for a week or so. I will be moving slower for a while and appreciate your patience!

I was also informed that two of our sermons (Better beginnings and Going Gray) did not upload correctly and had no audio. I will restore them and upload last Sunday's sermons soon!

Christmas Rush!

It has been a few weeks since my last post. The Christmas season is always a bit busy and this year was no exception! The Christmas party went wonderfully, as did our Christmas Eve Candlelight services. We are looking forward to having a great time ringing in the New Year on the 31st. We will be having an evening service at 7 PM and then move over to the fellowship hall for food and fun until midnight!

Our cameraman has been on vacation (and I didn't appoint a replacement) so our sermons from December 21st will not be posted. I am editing the sermon from December 28th as I type this and it will be posted on our sermon page within the hour. http://gateway-baptist.org/listen.html

We are looking forward to a wonderful 2009. Our annual Missions Month will start on February 1st with Ernie Harman, Missionary to Mexico in all services! Bob Hines from I-Map ministries, Mike Napper, Missionary to Burkina Faso and Beau Moore, Missionary to Portugal will also be with us on the following Sundays!

Many Blessings!

We had a wonderful time at our annual Thanksgiving dinner. I want to personally thank all those who worked so hard to provide a great meal! A special thanks goes to all who invited their friends and families to share in this time of thanksgiving to all God has given to us!

We are now looking forward to the Christmas season starting with our Church Christmas party on Saturday, December 13th at Peppers! Hope to see you there!

Thank You!

Today is Veteran's Day in the US and it was our priviledge to honor all of our Veterans and their families last Sunday. We owe them a debt we can never repay and in our current climate our military members and their families are sacrificing more than many imagine. Thank you for doing all you can to allow us to continue to enjoy the freedoms and opportunities we cherish so dearly!

Fantastic Fall Festival!

We had a wonderful time at our annual Fall Festival on October 31st. I want to personally thank the many people who shared the love of Jesus with our children and the visitors who came to be with us! Great job!
