Wish List

Okay, this is the situation....the Miles/Blass clan here in Maplecrest, Korea and Iraq agreed to do a secret gift exchange for Christmas this year. Great idea, don't you think??? So we exchanged names and, with Christmas a mere 3 weeks away, I (as manager of the gifts) felt it was time to get together a wish list that each participating individual could submit to me (manager of the gifts) so that I (manager of the gifts) in turn could pass suggestions on to those gifters who needed help in choosing a gift for their giftee. Well, we now have a dilemma. One of our members, we won't say who, wants a plane ticket home. That is the ONLY ITEM ON HIS (or her) LIST!!!

The gifter for this particular giftee is puzzled, astonished, and amazed....What do we do now????? Any suggestions from our friends, family, contacts??? (Gifters and giftees may also comment.)

We are inexperienced in this ritual of the secret gift exchange. Is there a procedure to follow?

Thank you for your HELP!

love, mom (I feel better now)

Lighthouse Bible Church's 4th Anniversary Celebration


Some of the people that joined us for the open house.

On Saturday, Dec 1, we held an Open House at our new church home on Main St, Hunter, NY. Our church was started in October, 2003, and since that first service we have met in 7 or 8 different locations. We are so happy to be here, in the "heart" of Hunter, right across from the Post Office and next door to a large apartment building filled with people and children of all ages. We are the only Christian church in town. We also took some time to celebrate John Osborne's 30th anniversary in his Country Gospel Music ministry. John and his wife Diane are our friends and partners in this Lighthouse Ministry, serving as deacon and treasurer since the beginning.
We had a wonderful time of praise and fellowship and are looking forward to our fifth year of shining the Light in the darkness of these beautiful mountains. The following pictures capture a few of the many friends, old and new, that visited the church during this open house.
