Happy New Year

It hardly seems possible that another year has come and gone so quickly. It's as if it were only yesterday that we were looking forward to a new year filled with hopes and anticipation.
During the year of 2008 we've seen much of the Lord's work done in Tennessee, as people have come to a life-changing experience with the Lord Jesus Christ, many have experienced the blessings of sanctification and the baptism of the Holy Spirit. A host of individuals have been baptized in water and many of our churches have seen their memberships increase as the membership covenant was administered.

We've seen new churches organized and our youth camps, and other ministries have expanded.
We look forward to 2009 as another great year for the Church of God of Prophecy around the world, but particularly in Tennessee.
All of our staff wish you the best of the New Year and we trust the Lord Jesus Christ will bless and keep you.
