Associates in Christian Counseling

As you venture into this New Year, you might be encouraged by this month’s focus on starting fresh.

In this issue we also recognize special gifts given over the holiday season. We especially want to reach out in Christian love to the Holton family whose 24-year old son, Marc, went to be with the Lord last month. Dave was a very active member of our Board for several years and Marc created the format for some of our banquet graphics which we continue to use each year.

We never know what a year will hold for us, but we can know the One who holds us each and every day.

Grace and peace,
Dr. Joe Verga
Executive Director, ACC
