Life Church -

Our first year at Life Church has come and gone and

what a year it was! We have been blessed to get to

know so many wonderful people through our church

and feel very blessed to be a part of this community.

As you’ll see in the following pages, God is moving

in a big way at our church. It’s because of God’s

faithfulness to move and your faithfulness to make

Life Church your home. From the bottom of my heart,

thanks for your faithful giving and willingness to

serve. It’s making a difference! I love living on

mission with you all and can’t wait for an amazing

2014!

Blessings,

Pastor Chris
