My time as the leader of HOME is drawing to a close. I have been grateful for the guidance the Lord has provided through various ladies in leadership. Their caring, giving spirits have been Christ-focused, and their counsel discerning and wise. I trust in their continued faithfulness to this group and its members under the helm of Carolyn Martin. I pray that you will give them the opportunity to establish their own way without comparisons to the past. This is the leadership that God has provided for this time, and I pray you will be grateful for their sacrificial service to HOME and its members.  Colossians 3:15 ~ Let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which you were called in one body; and be thankful.

Linda Kracht has served HOME in various capacities throughout the years.  She has been the Field Trip coordinator, Veterans Day coordinator, Talent Show coordinator, and HartS coordinator, among other fields of service.  She has also served as Vice-President these last three years.  Her energy and positive attitude are contagious and inspiring to others.  Linda is retiring from leadership, but will still serve as the HartS coordinator.  I hope you will take the time to let Linda know how you’ve appreciated the many ways she has served HOME and its members throughout the years.

My thanks to those who have taken the time to express their hopes and prayers and appreciation to me and the other leaders.  Since we live in the temporal world, we have need of encouragement and I thank you for it!

Each of the leaders has families who give also, so that they can serve you through HOME.  Mine is no different, and I am indebted to them for their support which has enabled me to serve HOME.

To God Be the Glory – Great Things He Hath Done – He so loved the world that He gave us His Son!

Philippians 1:3-7 ~ I thank my God upon every remembrance of you, always in every prayer of mine making request for you all with joy, for your fellowship in the gospel from the first day until now, being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ; just as it is right for me to think this of you all, because I have you in my heart, inasmuch as both in my chains and in the defense and confirmation of the gospel, you all are partakers with me of grace.
