Happy New Year from the Harlows!

Christmas is behind us now.  We celebrated with my parents on Christmas day.

We had 8,893 people at our 9 Christmas Eve services!  It should surprise you very little when I tell you that is another record crowd.  We successfully used the student ministries venue (THE UNDERGROUND) in the basement in one service with 255 people watching downstairs.  It was all very exciting and blessed by God.

The messages I’ve received from so many people tell me that the service was impactful to a lot of people.  It was so fun to be a part of what God is doing here.

On the 26th, we headed to Missouri to spend a few days with all of Denise’s family.

There are two new spouses added to the cousins, so the family is getting bigger and miraculously everyone was able to be together.  Some are in Oregon and one in California with Nashville thrown in - and we’re in Chicago, but we made it all together again.  Who knows how much more that will happen.  It was such a blessing to be together with everyone.  All of us are in ministry so we all had Christmas Eve services and all the extra stuff that goes on in December and that makes it more fun to get together and “chill.”

 
As I look at these pictures and see how much this family has grown up, it reminds me of how quickly things change – and how they may never be the same again.

When I think back over the past 20 years and how much this family has changed, I am also reminded of how much Parkview has changed.  It’s remarkable to see it grow. 

Denise and I want to thank you all so much for all your work for the Lord Jesus in 2009.  We can’t wait to see what God is going to do this year. 

Whatever your New Year's resolutions include – make sure God has a piece of it.  Because what He can do with our “familiy” is going to be incredible.

Happy New Year,

Tim and Denise

glad to hear your family got some down time after all the hard work. how amazing about the record crowd. it takes so many people behind the scenes to make it happen. they are all amazing.

your message was great. we had first timers with us and they loved it. i think you packed a lot of powerful easy to understand messages, that people who never heard the word, could apply directly to their life.

may God bless 2010!
