THANKS SO MUCH for the delicious food, brought to me from the church by Justin & Whitney Keown during the Thanksgiving Holidays. I

everyone a Blessed and Peaceful Christmas! Sincerely, Eloise Stenberg

Thank you for all the lovely Christmas cards — some with special messages. Also, thanks to our wonderful deacons for their dedication

and special attention. God Bless You. Ella V. Bailey

A special thanks to my church family for your love and support during my recent surgeries. Your prayers are appreciated as I continue on this

journey. Love you and God Bless. Jerry Killough

Dear friends . . . I had absolutely no idea what was going on at the end of our presentation of “Name Above All Names” when Tony invited Terri Minton (chair of our per-sonnel committee) to the microphone. I certainly did not anticipate that it had anything to do with me (I was trying to remember whose work anniversary it might be) so I was completely taken aback by the kind words from Terri and the warm affirmation from all of you who were present. After the service, as I sat in my office and opened the envelope which Terri presented, I was overwhelmed, surprised, and blown away by the exceedingly generous gift of travel for Jerre and me. (How you managed to accomplish this while I was completely unaware is a tribute to the crafty and deceptive staff with whom I serve). On the one hand, I wish I had known the enormity of the gift when it was presented so I could have better responded to your kindness; on the other hand, at that moment I don’t believe I could have formulated the right words to thank you for what I consider an undeserved, but deeply appreciated, gift from you. So please accept this delayed response of gratitude—not only for such a wonderful tangible expression of love, but even more for the many ways you continue to love and support my family and me as we serve and worship together. The servant attitudes and willing spirits you bring to our work together are such a reflection of the Savior’s heart, and a source of continuing joy and encouragement to me.

Thank you . . . John

to have more time to visit grandkids!) We appreciate Sue’s service, her willingness to do often tedious and laborious tasks beyond the job

description, her gentle spirit, and her friendly voice on the phone. Thank you, Sue, and enjoy those boys and that new little girl!

We welcome Geleta Armstrong to our Church Staff as

Communications Director/Administrative Assistant. She is a member of McHenry Baptist Church, is married with

two children, and is the daughter of Tressie Brown.
