Christmas in Ozark

We had a God Filled evening last night at our Tri Camp Christmas Gathering.  If you were there, I know you were blessed several times over...if you were unable to attend, be assured that we missed you and look forward to seeing you soon.  Our speakers, Margie McCall and David Miller were both inspirational.  Their talks not only helped each of us to stay focused on our special Gideon and Auxiliary mission, they led to a very giving Faith Fund donation.  Our Faith Fund goal for the evening was $1000.00...we currently have an unofficial count of over $1625.00.  If that wasn't enough of a blessing, Howard and Jan, our caterers from Country Foods, gave us a special price for our meal.  This was the last catered event that we will enjoy from Howard and Jan before they retire at the end of this month.  The special price was so good that each camp present at the Tri Camp meeting should receive additional funds to go into their respective Faith Fund ministries.  Our special music was truly special and touched every giving heart at the meeting.  If you have a special event that needs some great, Christian entertainment, please contact them through Margie.  Again, I send a heartfelt thank you on behalf of all those lives that will be forever changed because someone prayed, someone gave, someone went, and someone placed a bible in a needful life...you are that someone. Merry Christmas and a God-Filled New Year.  Check out the slideshow at the right to see some scenes from the dinner on December 13, 2012.
