Ten Years...

Sunday, September 12, 2010 marked the 10 year anniversary of Valley Heights Community Church. My family and a couple other families church-planted VHCC in 2000 in a small elementary school near my home. My Dad had a vision and that vision has lead to ten blessed years of ministry for him and our family. This past Sunday, our church celebrated our 10 year anniversary at a camp, where we spent hours in fellowship, sharing a meal, worshipping God in song, prayer, and the reading of God's Word, and reflecting on past memories with our Valley Heights family. I can't thank my Lord and Saviour enough for His unconditional love and faithfulness and His continued blessing on us for these past ten years. A verse that has been such an encouragment to me lately has been Revelation 2:10b which says, "Be faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of life." This is such an amazing promise from our God! I have been reflecting on it as our church has celebrated ten years of ministry and I pray that my Dad and the other elders of my church will continue to have a yearning for knowledge so that they will continue to have a yearning for God. I am so blessed by my heavenly Father and my earthly Father, and my love for them is great. I would ask you to pray for the elders of my church and to pray for the Lord's guidance and blessing as they proclaim the Word of God to the people.
