Dear Friends,

As another year comes to an end, the IMC family is filled with joy and rejoicing because of Gods love.  We know that whatever the circumstances are in our lives, we belong to Him; therefore God will control the outcomes.  We know that we have an inner peace in Christ no matter what the circumstances are around us.  As we celebrate the precious birth of our Savior, let us rest in this peace that He came as a man to fulfill God's promise of eternal life. For the new year we will allow that spirit of joy to permeate our entire lives.  We are learning when Christ becomes preeminent in our lives, we can experience contentment each and every day of our lives.  What a satisfaction to enjoy the Lord in all circumstances, disappointments or delights.  We know that God will make all things work together for the good in accomplishing His plan.  We are so thankful that this church is grounded on Christ and is truly based upon those faithfully attending each service here.

We are listening to the Lord and committing ourselves to Him each day.  We are joyfully striving to bring our friends and loved ones to the Lord.  We testifying that Jesus Christ died and rose from the dead just for each of us.  Our God is still talking and we are still listening, the Holy Spirit lives in us and praise God, Jesus is alive and well.

May Christ be the center of your Christmas celebration and may you too be rejoicing with us in the new year.

Wishing you a Merry Christmas and a blessed New Year in Christ Jesus,

Terry & Phyllis Bowman
