1. We praise God
that, in spite of significant conflict in 2012 and the loss of four core
families, we ended 2012 with growth in both giving and attendance and are
experiencing greater peace and unity than we have ever had at CTR (not to
mention the Lord's provision of a physical home of our own). God is good!
2. We praise God for the commitment
of the presbytery to our purity, peace, health and growth.
