THANK YOU, ALL OF YOU, FOR ALL YOU DO!

Here at the end of the year, it’s only fitting
to say thank you to all the people who have made not
only the Holiday season special, but to those who have
blessed us all by their above and beyond service. At
the great risk of forgetting someone:

Thanks to everyone in worship and music ministry who
excelled in leading us in worship this season, and
especially to our Worship Director, Matt Cooper.

Thanks to the guys who just painted and fixed up Room
113, turning it into one of the best-looking rooms on
campus: Brad Goodrich, Alex Vago and Joseph Kwong.

Thanks to the those who lit the Advent candles this
month: the Sulistios, the Joshuas, the Gardners and to
the Debra Cuda and Joyce Callen.

Thanks to the Vision Task Force who worked hard this
year to steer us in a new and exciting direction:
Keith Allred, Don Buchanan, Robin Giammalva, Bob
Rardin, Janet Stephens, Errol Strickler and Deanne
Strickler.

Thanks to all our wonderful interpreters, laboring
week by week to make the worship services accessible
to people speaking Mandarin, Spanish and Indonesian:
Sofia Kwong, coordinator; Robin Chandra, John Cortez,
Katharin Kuhn, Victoria Fan, Lucina Felix, Philip Pan,
Gelia Ramali, and Lisette Rhine.

Thanks to our office and support staff: Kathy
Alexander, Betty Kelly, Gene Mills and Bob Marston.

mid-week children’s ministry. What a great
group!

Second Language) ministry: Martha Beyer, Bob Boyd,

mention!

Thanks to Joseph Kwong for wiring us for high-speed
Internet.

Thanks to Dave Lazzarini and Errol Strickler for
making numerous repairs around the facility and for

“complete makeover.”

Thanks to Howard Somer for the use of his theatrical
lights for special occasions and for all his hard
work.

Thanks to Janet Stephens for being to

who will continue to guide and bless as we enter 2007
with faith, hope and love.
