Merry Christmas to you all!
Things have been quite hectic lately, but rewarding.
We just had the funeral of a dear friend and neighbor, Stella Sanchez. She shall be greatly missed by everyone who knew her.

Thanksgiving week we (Reflection) sang at the Willcox Community Thanksgiving service, Wynne Chapel's Thanksgiving Eve service and 3 days at the 4th annual Old Pearce Holiday Festival.

We are continuing to support missions.
1. We helped the Faith, Hope and Love Kids Ranch in the Philippines buy bakery equipment to generate income for the ministry.
2. I shall be meeting with Pastor Isaias in Agua Prieta, Sonora this coming week (He ministers in the Navojoa are, about 12 hours south of the border).
3. We have contributed to the World Gospel Missions in memory of Stella Sanchez who was the church missions president and involved passionately in missions for the last 40+ years.

We are bringing in two bands, one from Payson and one from our area to do a Christmas Outreach to teenagers in conjunction with Wynne Chapel on December 19.

Keep us in your prayers and have a blessed Christmas and New Year.
In Christ,
John
