This is our Newsletter and Quarterly Report for the 4th quarter of 2007. Pastor preached on a variety of topical sermons. See our church website for the outlines of the latest sermons preached on Sunday mornings. In our afternoon services we continue to study a survey of things in the New Testament.

Pastor didn’t travel this quarter except for a short trip to Lake Tahoe with sister Marion for our 42nd anniversary. Sister Marion was ill with a bad cold at the time but is recovered from that now. In fact, just about everyone in the church was hit hard this winter with colds and the flu.

Sister Marion’s back is much better. Pastor’s back and leg (sciatic nerve) pain is still there. He is getting a MRI on the 18th of January. Pastor will be taking a trip to teach, baptize, ordain an elder and organize a church in the Ukraine. Brother Kenneth Long will accompany him. Plans for the trip have been delayed until the spring due to medical problems with brother Alex and his family in Chernigov. Alex needs to acquire vacation now in order to host guests from America.

Our church attendance still needs improvement. We had to discipline some for non-attendance.
Our membership is less able to get out and about so we are praying for divine leadership on other ways to let folks know about our services. God opened the door for us to reactivate our Radio program. We broadcast “The Beacon of Truth” locally on KLAY 1180am Radio each Sunday morning from 8:45am to 9:00am.

Our Missionaries are always thankful for your prayerful support. The new members in Cork, Ireland are growing in grace. Brother Bob, our Missionary is presently receiving chemotherapy for a lymphatic lesion on the optic nerve of his right eye. Please keep this in your prayers. Brother Baldemor, our Missionary in Philippines hopes to organize the Lawa-an Mission into a church soon in Northwestern Mindanao. The financial needs in the Filipino mission work are for the Lawa-an building project and for help with brother Baldemor’s travel expenses ($300 per month).

We are looking forward to hearing Elder Garner Smith preach for us again in a revival meeting the end of January. Pray for true revival. Pastor’s cousin, Wayne Leroy Williams passed away. Sister Sue Kaley needs prayer regarding her inoperable lung cancer.
Remember our older members in prayer and those who are in distant places.

Thanks again to those who faithfully remember us in prayer. We need it. We love you in the Lord. Pray for our children and grand children. Pray that God would be pleased in His sovereign grace to save the lost and add the saved to the church.
HAPPY NEW YEAR.
