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!

Join us for our Fall Festival and Veteran's Sunday!

Our annual Fall Festival is Friday, Oct 31st from 6:30-8:30 PM! There will be plenty of pizza, candy and fun for all!

We will have a special Veteran’s Sunday on November 9th. We appreciate the sacrifices made for the freedoms we enjoy. Join us as we honor those who have given so much!

Sermon Player Back on Line!

Our sermon player is back on line. I have posted the sermons from the last two weeks and the archive sermons should be online any day. You can hear them at http://gateway-baptist.org/listen.html !

We are excited to see God bless our efforts as we focus on our community through the Jerusalem Priority. The preparations for our Fall Festival and Veteran's Sunday are going well and I want to thank everyone who is helping make these days honoring to our Lord!

Looking forward to God's Blessing!

We had a wonderful start to our local community focus! We are joining churches around the country in the Jerusalem Priority outreach effort. For the entire month we will be opening our hearts to the leading of God in order to reach our community!

Our sermon player host is having some server issues due to rapid growth. Praise the Lord that there are so many looking to share God's Word with the world! We will post this week's sermons as soon as the servers are back online!
