Amid\non again off again reservation shut downs, many of our planned year-end\nministries did go forward.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Brother Andy Gleiser ministered among us for a week of special\nmeetings the first week of November. We are grateful that we were able to\nhold the meetings in person. The reservation was on lock down during\nThanksgiving and the first three weeks of December. But just before we went\non lockdown we were able to have our annual testimony and praise service.\nThe challenges of the year made everyone much more aware of God\u2019s\npresence all along.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not knowing what the situation would be for Christmas, Steve planned\na simple program for the preceding Sunday. Praise the Lord, we were able to\ncome out of lockdown and meet face to face! Though our celebrations were\nmore scaled down, we were again very aware of the great blessing it was to be\ntogether (in person) worshipping the Lord.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We were personally encouraged by a visit from our son, Micah, his\nwife, Rachael, and our newest grandson, Ray. Sherry had been able to help\nRachael at their home in Fargo, ND, however, this was Steve and Molly\u2019s first\ntime to meet sweet baby Ray. Then, the week before Christmas, our son, Josh\nwas able to come home for several days. This past semester he has been\nstudying remotely in Texas while working for a political consulting firm. He\nis now back in Texas preparing to return to Pensacola for the spring semester.\nHe has two more classes to finish up his degree. Lord willing, he will be\nmarching in May!\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As we finish another trip around the sun and begin another, our prayer\nfor you is that you experience every blessing the Lord has planned for you,\nand trust you will rejoice with us for His marvelous work among us!\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For God\u2019s Glory,<br>\nThe Steven R.
