A BLESSED CHRISTMAS AND NEW YEAR FROM THE IDLEMAN FAMILY TO YOURS

In this Christmas season, and as we come to the end of another calendar year, I want to express on behalf of our family the great honor and joy it is to serve the Lord and you. The picture was taken this past Thanksgiving when all 19 of us were together. It is rare on holidays, since, most of the time, one of our four families usually has some kind of ministry responsibility. Our son and both sons-in-law are pastors with the Southeast Christian Church in Louisville, KY. Our two daughters and our daughter-in-law are busy and dedicated stay-at-home moms. Our 19 grandchildren [7 granddaughters and 4 grandsons] range in age from 3-14.

Usually a couple of times a year our sons-in-law, Brian Sites and Matt Bayless, come to Crossroads to lead worship. Our son, Kyle, comes to preach, on average, once a quarter. All three of them testify about how much they love to come and preach/lead worship at Crossroads. Thank you so much for being so warm and welcoming to our family and thank you for standing with us as we seek to build a Great Commandment/Great Commission Church.

Our prayer for you is that this Christmas will be a season of spiritual renewal and recommitment as we move into a new year of challenges and opportunities to exalt Jesus Christ together.

Gratefully and sincerely,

Ken Idleman
Senior Pastor
