Sunday evening, January 26, we met for dinner and our Annual Meeting.  We talked from Titus 2:11-15 about first things:  Our Simple Faith; Our Pilgrim Character; Our Blessed Hope.  John Parish and David Mills were added to our Board of Elders (with Bill Moss, Steve Dee, and Gary Starbuck continuing terms).  Vinnie Fasano, Jason Henry, Harvey Matheny, and Daniel Jones, Jr. joined John Amagliani on the Board of Deacons.  We talked about ways we want to do God's business in better ways during 2014, and we shared concerns.  The meeting ended with a time of prayer and fresh commitment to serving God who always provides. 

MEN!  The coveted "You Nailed It!
