D i r e c t o r ’ s Christ was born and He is Risen indeed! Glory to God in the Highest! With Sanctity of human life next month we should stop and consider all that Christ has done for us. First off He created us in His own image. The Bible tells us this in Genesis 1:26-27. And Psalm 139:1316 tells us that God knew us before we were even born. God has loved us before the foundations of the earth were ever formed. That is amazing. And because we turned away from Him He sent His only Son to forgive our sin and redeem us to Him. Isaiah 9:6 says; For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. In Isaiah 53:2-12; 2 For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him. 3He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not. 4Surely he hath borne our grief, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. 5But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. 6All we like sheep have gone astray; we have

turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all. 7He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth. 8He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken. 9And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death; because he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth. 10Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand. 11He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities. 12Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath poured out his soul unto death: and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors. Praise God!!! Each of us are valuable to God just because He created us. Let us keep this in mind as we celebrate Christ mas and the New Year. Together in Christ, Vonnie McCoy

Sanctity of Human Life Month Celebrations January is Sanctity of Human Life month and to celebrate God’s wonderful creation we are hosting an open house with tea and cookies on Thursday, January 15th from 11 to 6. Please come and join us. Sanctity of Human Life Sunday is January 18th. I encourage you to do something special at your church to observe this day. Thursday January 22nd marks the 42nd anniversary of Roe vs. Wade making abortion on demand legal in the United states. The annual walk for life rally in Spokane has changed it’s name to “LifeWalk 2015” and will be held on Thursday January 22nd from 7pm-9pm. It will begin with a short rally at Fourth Memorial Church (2000 N. Standard) and progressing to the Salvation Army across the street from the Planned Parenthood building. Please join in this special time and make your voice heard.

Can You Help? Dessert for Life Update Dessert for life was a great success once again this year. Thanks to our generous supporters who came and enjoyed an evening of good fellowship and yummy dessert. During the night over $6000.00 was raised to benefit the ministries of N.E.W. Family Life Services. I Praise God for each of our donors who support this ministry. Without you we wouldn’t be able to do the things we do for those we serve. You are an essential part of this ministry. Key in many ways to our success. I thank you for your heart for this ministry and for being obedient servants of God. Blessings, Vonnie
