"but whoever wishes to become great among you shall be your servant, and whoever wishes to be first among you shall be your slave; just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve,and to give His life a ransom for many." Matthew 10:26-28 (New American Standard Version)
I want to say a special thank you to my many church family members for making 2013 a great year through your generous service to others in the name of Jesus!
Thank you for building homes with Habitat for Humanity, for teaching in Uptown children's ministry, for volunteering with our junior high, high school and college ministries, for hosting and teaching skills at our Pinterest Live! nights, for making meals for those who were ill or bereaved or had new babies, for hosting baby showers and wedding showers, for taking missions trips to far-off places like the Ukraine, for working tirelessly to plan Yosemite Bible Camp and then be teachers, counselors, cooks and directors, for helping paint and pour concrete and whack weeds at Yosemite Bible Camp last spring, for contributing to Thanksgiving baskets and Christmas baskets and care packages for those enlisted in the military, for helping paint the Ocheltree Group's room this summer, for praying for each other and with each other, for working with the homeless ministry, for volunteering with Off The Front Ministries, for planning a community garden project, for being part of Angel Tree, for serving at Renew Conference, for singing on the worship team, for counseling others in need. You inspire me, teach me, model greatness for me. I appreciate you all so much! It's been a great year!
