3 SPECIAL THANKS TO JIM HEIN From the beginning of TurningPoint, Jim and Vikki Hein have dedicated themselves to making this church a place where anyone can come, feel like they belong, and meet Jesus. Jim has served as Head Elder for many years along with filling other key roles in the church. Although he will still serve in other ways and will remain an elder, he has decided to step down from being Head Elder. Thank you, Jim, for all the years you have served us and led us through many good and many difficult times. WELCOME TO DAVID MAY We want to welcome David May as our new Head Elder. David and Sherry May have been a blessing to TurningPoint since they first started attending our church. Their energy, enthusiasm, and willingness to serve have been contagious. David has agreed to take on the role of Head Elder. We look forward to continuing to fulfill the vision and purpose of TurningPoint under his leadership. CONGRATULATIONS On December 18th, Wilfredo Collins and Tuli Villegas committed their lives to each other in marriage. We are so happy for them! Tuli met Will several months ago, and he eventually moved from Washington state to Roseburg. We appreciate their joyful spirits and many talents. We are very fortunate to have them here. Congratulations, Mr. and Mrs. Wilfredo Collins! YOUTH CHRISTMAS PARTY
