To My High Mill Family,

     You may or may not remember me, but I visited your church with New Life and our Furnace/DLA program in mid-November! My name is Audrey and I just wanted to write and Thank You for your families hard-work and loving hearts the few days we were there. You all set the bar for what it means to be God's bride. It was so great to truly see what it looks like to be one body, one heart, after God. Many of our students , including myself, have a heart for church ministry and I don't think we could have gone to a better church than High Mill to exemplify the purpose and meaning of the Colossians 1:18 church. It says:
                    (Starting in verse 17)"And He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together. And He is the Head of the Body, the Church. He is the Beginning, the Firstborn from the dead, that in everything He might be preeminent."
     When we were there only for a short while, it quickly became evident that the Lord is the head of the church. You guys took the time to get to know us deeply, even though you didn't know if you would ever see us again. Some of you took time off work so you could spend time with us. You made sure that there was someone from the church with us at all times (Even while we were sleeping!) And not to mention the excellent meals you made for us. I can't thank you enough for your hospitality and the time you put aside to pour into our lives intimately and richly. I am looking to become a worship leader down the rode and your church highlighted the meaning of what it means to worship our God. In songs, prayer, and especially in living your whole life, every minute, every second to glorify Him. If you would like, I wrote about this in my blog (dated 11/19/09) in more detail at audreywilles.wordpress.com. I would be honored if you took a minute to read it over. Thank you again High Mill. I look forward to more fellowship with you all down the road.
                                            
                                                                                                 In Him,
                                                                                                         Audrey
