President’s Message
Here we are at the start of another year. Yes
another year of hope and heartache, highs and
lows, uncertainty abounds and life seems to
be changing constantly. Never the less let us
remember that Jesus said “In this world you will
have trouble but I have overcome the world”.
John 16:33. I tend to try and look at the glass
half full not half empty. We continue to beat
the odds as the number of small credit unions
continues to dwindle away. Our commitment
to serve has never been stronger and we look
forward to as many years as the lord allows us
to be here for you. May God richly bless you in
2013.
“Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be
purchased at the price of chains and slavery?
Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course
others may take but as for me; give me liberty or
give me death.” Patrick Henry
