It’s hard to believe that 2012 is here. The last couple of months of 2011 were packed full of events. Our Ladies Lunch Bunch “Road Trip” was November 7^th and what a time we had! There were 18 of us that journeyed to Blue Ridge, Georgia to ride the Historic Blue Ridge Scenic Railway. We met so many nice folks and had an opportunity to witness to several people. On our return trip home we had no choice but to stop at the Panorama Apple Barn for delicious fried apple pies!! The fellowship was great. We want to thank Bro. Livingston for driving the van for us. Sometimes we get a little rowdy!! It was so much fun. (Lunch Bunch ladies posing before boarding the Blue Ridge Scenic Railway.)

November 11^th was a very special day for Dewayne Carter & Elizabeth Savala as they were united in marriage with a beautiful wedding ceremony. Congratulations Dewayne & Elizabeth Carter! (Mr. & Mrs. DeWayne Carter.)

The week of Thanksgiving our youth attended the National Youth Convention at the beautiful Opryland Hotel in Nashville, TN. All the speakers were fantastic and we were blessed in every service. (The Source Youth with Pastor Livingston at NYC 2010.)

December was like a whirlwind as we started all the festivities of the season. Every department had functions all month long but we tried to stay focused on ‘The Reason for the Season!’ December 18^th was our Christmas Musical “When Love was Born” which included our Praise Team, Signing Team and Children’s Choir under the direction of Sis. Chelsea Savala and Sis. Destiny Baughman. Thank you for a job well done! (("When Love Was Born" Children's choir led by Sis. Destiny Baughman) The church family presented Bro. Livingston with an iPad 2 which totally surprised him! Our Banquet was immediately after the Musical. The food was awesome! Of course we think we have the best cooks around.

On Christmas morning we all gathered to celebrate the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ with a special service. Bro. Livingston’s message was titled “The King Has Come”. The Sunday school department had a Pancake Breakfast for all the kids which was a big hit! (Bro.Irl & Sis. Bridghett Johnson, Sis. Chelsea Savala, Sis. Reba Wood & Sis. Bridget Lively prepared the Pancake Breakfast for the Sunday school department. Thank you, teachers!!)

We ended 2011 with a New Year’s Eve service. There was a mighty move of God as the signing team did “Sweet Anointing.”  Then Bro. Michael Gibbs and his family ministered to us. After service we had an old fashion breakfast prepared by our chef, Bro. James Walker and his assistants, Sis. Eva Walker & Sis. Faye Dake. The meal was delicious!

On New Years Day, Bro. Gibbs ministered to us once again with an anointed message “Down But Not Out.” God blessed us in this service. Also that night a group of our ladies gathered for an All Night Prayer meeting, Communion and Foot Washing! Thank you, Sis. Ashley Dake for being inspired to have this prayer meeting. Prayer changes things!

This is a new season. We pray that 2012 will be a blessed and prosperous year for all our churches!

God Bless!
