Hello BCGS Family,

Well it’s here, 2012, wow. Hope all of you had a blessed Christmas and good New Years. Mine (Christmas) was great! New Years Day I was sick, had been sick since Christmas night—temp etc. so this letter might not be up to par, but since God gives me the words it should be OK. We’re starting 2012 with Bro. Ernie Hutchings and members of Freedom House located in Richwood(rural) –9422 CR 405. Wow and wow again they were originally located in Oyster Creek so this is a new church but the same wonderful people. God really blessed Bro. Ernie and members when He opened the doors for this place for them. See how good our Lord is! I’m excited about this month’s singing ( I get excited about all of them) but especially because this is a new year and a new church for Bro. Ernie. We are gonna party, party, and party some more on Friday, the 27th at Freedom House in Richwood! So get your shoutin’ shoes dusted and ready, limber up your arms for stretching, oh, and warm up your hands cause we’re gonna raise the roof on the 27th. See our Lord Jesus is already smiling and rubbing His hands in anticipation, geezzz what a night we are in for! So come on out, along with friends and family (that you can grab by the collar) and enjoy this great fun filled night of worship for our God. REMEMBER JANUARY 27—FREEDOM HOUSE—RICHWOOD, TX.

Last month, and it seems longer than it really has, we were at Jones Creek Assembly of God, and wow what a good time we had. Bro. Aaron wasn’t there but his Dad Raleigh Williams filled in and boy did we get a blessing. A gigantic thank you to bro. Raleigh, along with Bro. Beaman and Towanda Whitten for getting everything ready for this get-together. A huge thanks to all the members of Jones Creek Assembly along with Bro. Raleigh for allowing BCGS to come and worship our Lord and Savior and have the privilege of having His Birthday Party there for 8 years straight . Keith was there as our MC, and a mighty job he did too, always does, thank you so very much Keith, for this. TC, along with Bro. Raleigh’s help, ran sound for us and since it was his first time to do that it was a sensational job. A hefty awesome thank you, TC. Now he has been MC and run sound. Way to go guy. We had roughly 14 to bring praise and worship that night with quite a few receivers there also. To each of you who brought praise and worship a fantastic thank you! I know Jesus had a great birthday present with all the praise. To the receivers, a fantastic thank you also cause without you to bless it might not be so much fun and I know God enjoyed seeing you blessed. Our God is so amazing, right. He is amazing enough to make the offering super – through the church the offering was $196.00and through the mail $20.00, but then a later hand in of $40.00 made a whoopee $256.00 total! God knew I had to have all 4 inks, envelopes, and stamps for this month and see how He provides – almost unbelievable, right. Only through Him! A special thank you to each of you for the offering. May God bless the gift and the giver. Now important stuff such as vittles for us ‘ole worshipers and receivers. Golly was it good, superb, ladies! A special, special thank you goes out to the members of Jones Creek Assembly and also to all the BCGS families who provided these vittles. A lot of the worshipers and receivers have to come straight from work to get to the singing on time, so they really do appreciate the work that goes into the vittles. Thanks again.

Prayer Request: Remember the Bolten family (Oyster Creek.) Tonya died Christmas Eve morning of a heart attack, but she got to spend Christmas with our Jesus, wow. She was 42. Remember our February singing cause I still haven’t heard back from Second Baptist Angleton yet. Bro. David Hancock, (who usually handles this) was in an industrial accident at Dow Christmas Eve night. Was caustic burned quite a bit. It is a miracle of God’s making that he is up and walking already, still a long, long way to go. Please keep him and his family in prayer. I will now need to contact Bro. Chris about Second Baptist—so pray—it will be what and where God wants us! Remember travel mercies for the ones who travel a ways to make the singings. Daily prayer for all of our cancer patients, we have quite a few. Then there is our US and the US Government-wow is that a prayer request and a half. The Armed Forces and their families need prayer every-day. All EMS workers and their families also, they put their lives on the line almost every day to help someone, somehow.

Must get—got to type this and I’m behind cause of being sick. My computer crashed right before this singing (I mean crashed for good). I left it up to God and guess what a way was provided for me to get a new one, wow see what I mean by awesome! What a mighty God we do serve!! REMEMBER JANUARY 27TH --- FREEDOM HOUSE---RICHWOOD, TEXAS. Till we meet again may God keep you safe in the palm of His hand. I’ll be looking forward to seeing all of you on the 27th . It seems like an awful long time between singings when we have an early one in December then go back to regular in January. Really start to missing all of you! Wow what a party we’re gonna have. Remember to bring those friends and relatives, we don’t want to leave them out, now do we? Till then---
“Open the eyes of my heart Lord, I want to see You.” These words were running through my head this morning when I got up and I pray they run through yours.

O Clap your hands, all you peoples! Shout to God with the voice of triumph and songs of joy!
