Hello friends
Last week, Leslie, myself and the rest of our family went on our first whole family vacation minus Jeremy who could not get off work. We had a great time, and let me say that Table Rock Lake is outstanding.
But, today I am back to hard labor and fun times at HBC. Our offices will not be so bright for a short while; last Friday was Brandy’s last day to be part of the HBC staff. She accepted a new job on Fort Leonard Wood. She had worked for us for 5 years, she will be missed. So for a while please call before you make the trip out here so you will be sure that there is someone here. 573 774 5222 is the office number.
Our New Direction Task Force has been and is still working extremely hard trying to set the stage for our future as a community of believers. What I thought would take about 3 weeks to complete will be more like 3 months. Here is a list of accomplishments thus for,
