Back Page: December 25, 2011

This is the final Back Page of the year.  Many have appreciated this little column each Sunday and several read it on line at www.hardingville.com each week.   This is also Christmas Day and our service is at 11 AM.

Long had Satan reigned imperious, Till the woman’s promised Seed,
Born a babe, by birth mysterious,  Come to bruise the serpent’s head.
Crush dear Babe, his power within us, Break our chains, and set us free,
Pull down all the bars between us, Till we fly and cleave to Thee.

We rejoice in the faithfulness of God’s people in giving to this ministry over this year. The Lord has sure been good to us!  Year-end giving is good stewardship as one considers their tax liability for the current year.  If you would like to make a year-end contribution to the ministry here, just place your gift in the offering or the mail; we will send you a receipt for your personal records.      If you would like to make a special gift to the Building Fund at our school, use the yellow envelope.  We have over $100,000 in expenses in outfitting the new building; the need is great and any gift would be appreciated.  We will issue you a receipt for 2011.
