What a great December we experienced. Guest speakers included the Reverends Duke Johnson, Patrick Overton, Ric Gorden, and Brad Smith. We enjoyed a great time with our Christmas party and Christmas caroling on the hay wagon. We passed out 28 Christmas food baskets and helped provide Christmas gifts for many others. Our New year’s Eve party was excellent with Christian comedy by the Reverend Gene Summers and Holy Communion as we began the new year. (Thanks to Devon Vasquez and Vicky Cobb for planning and executing their ideas for New Year’s Eve!) We love Christmas so much that it has been suggested that we participate in two during 2011 – I have heard of Christmas in July!


On January 2, we enjoyed the ministry of Evangelist and Mrs. Gene Summers. What great messages they brought of hope, living an overcoming life, and experiencing the personal power of the Lord. People were blessed and encouraged in these special services and are looking forward to the Summers’ return.


Joane and I celebrated our Wedding Anniversary with a quiet day on January 8. We will be helping Joane celebrate her birthday next Sunday evening. If you think our January’s are dull, come spend one with us!

Friday Night Youth is back in full swing after the holidays. During the Christmas season, we had several of our youth participate in our Christmas party and caroling, as well as some attending the New Year’s Eve party.  But now we again focus on Friday Night Youth from 7:00 to 10:00 p.m. each Friday, except the first Friday of each month. Bring your friends and let’s have some “safe sun” on Friday nights at the Chapel!


The Sea Academy is offering its first class of 2011 beginning on January 28 and going through February 6.

The instructor, Captain Robert, will again help all those who attend to get their Coast Guard approved licenses.


Fisherman’s Chapel is committed to helping this community focus on eternal issues. We believe Jesus is the answer to the world’s problems and will help those wanting help find a personal Savior in Jesus Christ. We are an interdenominational congregation who urges all to, “Come, grow with us!”
