The Fiscus Buzz 2012: A Year in Review

We've already sent our Christmas newsletter, The Fiscus Buzz, by email and snail mail but we may have inadvertently forgotten someone.  So, we'll post it here as well.  We hope you have had a merry Christmas and are looking forward to seeing what the Lord has planned for 2013.

A summary of the Fiscus family’s most memorable events of 2012

December
  • We are the parents of a teenager!  Nicole turns 13.  We celebrate at the movie theater with friends.       
  • Mitch’s mother Jeannette visits from Wyoming.
  • Mitch and Jane sing “O Holy Night” as a church special.  This is Mitch’s first singing special (but hopefully not his last).
  • Mitch baptizes 5 this year at Jones Chapel.
We have seen God’s goodness over and over again throughout this year.  It began with His love for us in sending Jesus Christ—Immanuel, God With Us.  Jesus was born so that He could die on the cross for our sins.  It is our greatest desire that our family and friends know Jesus as Personal Savior.  Please contact us to learn more.  God bless you!
