The last Monday in December, the group took a break from bible study to help support Randy and Jackie as they prepared to send their only son off to college. It was again a show of genuine love and support for the Camper family. We meet in this home every Monday and so this Monday was just a special time to spend with Cody and to give him well wishes, advice and pieces of wisdom. Thanks to all of you who made this night special and for the support it gave to Jackie during this very hard time for her. Thanks to Bob and Melissa Turner for the beautiful, tasty cake and to everyone else who brought things to make this night special for Cody and his parents. Here are some of the memories from that night.

while Tony McKenna and Jack Mason talk solar.

Cody wants to thank everyone for their kindnesses, words of encouragment, cards, advice and money as he prepared to leave home for the first time. Randy and Jackie thank everyone for the awesome love and support shown to them during this time of struggle and adjustment. God always sends manna when we're hungry, He gives us water when we thirst and He gives us rest when we are weary, and He gives us Himself through the love of all of you when we just need a little support. Thanks Wabi-Sabi Sisters and God's Helping Hands. Thanks to all your prayers Cody made it to school and has settled in well and Jackie is making the adjustment to having the empty nest. God is so good!
The children had games, a bible lesson and..........

Randy taught us about the Church, the Body of Christ, the Ecclesia. We are continuing to meet on Sundays and are praying and waiting for God to guide. Our faith remains strong and we are greatly blessed. We had a great fellowship with around 35 in attendance.
