Greetings Beloved: As we approach the middle of 2013 we stop to think back on the year as it has been so far. GRANDMAS It has been an eventful and moving year for Beth's mother, Ginny Proctor. Ginny (Nan) started the year living in Sandy Springs, Georgia near her daughter Brook. When Brook moved north a bit Nan moved with her into a new assisted-living facility which appeared to be working out nicely. But only about five weeks into it they announced that they could not care for her needs and gave notice that she had to go. Research indicated that options near Brook had dried up and a facility in Sarasota, Florida looked like the best choice. Soooo... this dear lady is faced with yet another move, this time to live near her son Chris and daughter Holly & is happening as we write (Memorial Day weekend). Pray for a peaceful adjustment for Ginny to The Springs of Sarasota. Our prayer is that this will be her home for many more years as it is a skilled nursing facility, able to provide sufficient care on a lovely campus just minutes from her children. Dan's mother continues to be quite stable and actually joined us for a special day at the beach in May. She has not taken food or drink by mouth since 2011 until recently when she is trying to eat a little bit again - thinking that her blocked esophagus may have been opened. That would be an awesome thing for her if she can get back to eating again. TRIPS Beth continues to be on the go a bunch, helping out with her mom, as well as, grandchildren in Georgia and Texas. Most recently we enjoyed a very special journey to Fernandina Beach, Florida where we gathered with our children, in-loves, and grandchildren in a lovely home right on the beach. It was a special time which we hope establishes an annual tradition. We not only enjoyed Lylah (3), Caedmon (1) and Caroline (1/2) but we got the awesome news that our Hannah will be birthing a first-born child in early November. So --- our family continues to grow and we are thrilled. Speaking of growth, it looks like our Sharon will finish up her intensive time of growth at Mercy Ministries in St. Louis, MO sometime this summer. She then plans to join Sarah Beth, Richie and Caroline in Houston to begin her training & career as a CNA. We see His prints of mercy all around our children & bless God for His unfailing Love in their lives. CHURCH NEWS It has been a blessed year of ministry so far at North Park Church. We are sad to be losing our wonderful Associate Pastor, Jonathan Shirk, who has taken a call to be lead pastor of a small congregation back near his home-town (Lancaster, PA). Dan is busily engaged in the search for a new director of Student Ministries and we hope to fill Jonathan's very large shoes by summer's end. Andrew has hit full-stride in his labor as lead pastor of King's Chapel in Carrolton, GA. His church is growing and he is becoming a very busy pastor and dad, which keeps him and us on our knees for a deeper penetration of the gospel in every area of life. SUMMER PLANS We anticipate a full summer. Beth has plans to travel to Atlanta and Houston in June, then Michigan in July. Dan will be continuing his doctoral class at RTS Charlotte in July & we both hope to round out summer's end serving at Joni & Friends Family Retreat at Camp Jumonville in August. Thanks for letting us share some of our latest adventures. May you be seeing God at work for you and yours as well. In the grace of Jesus & for HIs Praise~ Dan/Beth

HENDLEY FAMILY CHRISTMAS LETTER AND YEAR-END REPORT FOR 2012 Greetings Beloved: Green things, blue things, old things, new things. We are writing to tell you things. Things that have happened, things that are true. Things that we have done and do. We’ll tell it once; we’ll tell it clear. We’ve sent to you cause you are dear. Enjoy! GRANDMAS (because some things are just grand) After a very shaky 2011, this year was much better for our mothers. Ginny Proctor continues to live near Atlanta and has enjoyed special trips this year to Florida (twice!) and to West Virginia for son Clay's big 50th! Dan’s mom also made it to Hannah’s wedding in March; her health is much more stable and she continues to enjoy bridge with Ocala friends. GRANDCHILDREN (because some things are super-grand) Then there were THREE! We had some very sweet times with Lylah and Caedmon in Mississippi this year. Caedmon has become such a fine little brother and Lylah delights everyone. She even got to be in her Auntie Boo’s wedding (see below). Then the day after the wedding, her aunt Sarah sat everyone down to break the big news that she would be giving us a third grandchild. On October 31, with Mamie Beth there to help, Caroline Faith made her grand entrance in Houston. Mom, Dad and baby too, are all doing well and getting to know each other. YES, THE WEDDING HAPPENED As we announced in last year’s report, we had a big Florida wedding in early March. Dom and Hannah Foti got it together before family and friends at Covenant Church in Palm Bay. It was a spectacular scene and great fun. Then the very next day, we reunited with that same church family, where Dan preached for the first time since October, 2006. The whole weekend was such a blessing for all of us. THE JOBS REPORT In our troubled economy we are very blessed to have so many employed members of our family. But the jobs have changed for most of us. Dan and Dom have been the stable ones, still working at North Park Church and Rockwell-Collins. The skinny on the rest is: Andrew was youth pastor at Faith PCA in Brookhaven. Now -- lead pastor of King’s Chapel PCA in Carrolton, GA. It took some special workings of the Lord to make this happen, but AW and Mer now live close to Mer’s parents and lead a neat, growing church an hour west of Atlanta. Dan had the privilege of preaching for AW’s installation service in September. We look forward to our trip south after Christmas to see the Hendley's new home and enjoy the grands, Nan, and our extended family visiting for the Holidays. Sarah Beth, after much searching, found a new position as a nurse practitioner at the University of Texas Health Science Center, where she is on maternity leave at the moment, enjoying motherhood with our precious Caroline Faith. Richie, formerly head trainer for the Rice football team took a new position this Fall as head trainer over all sports at Houston Baptist University, which has allowed him a bit more flexibility to bond with his wife and new daughter as well. Hannah continues to work at Christian Care Medishare in Melbourne, but recently received a major promotion to head of marketing. She also is the owner-manager of Foti’s photos. You can see her work on http://blog.medi-share.org/ or Foti’s photos on facebook. Sharon spent some of her year working in the photography business as part of Dean Stewart Photography in Melbourne. Recently she has been back up north working with Marion Leggett for Camp Pinnacle, a retreat center in NY. Starting in January she will relocate to St. Louis where she has been invited to join Mercy Ministries, a Christian residential program for young women working through various life issues. 2012 has been a tough year for Sharon, but she has persevered in hope, and we are praying for joyful breakthroughs in the new year. As you can see, we have been working – and so has the Lord. He has been working in and through our family spread around the country, and He has been working in our church family. It has been a good year to be a part of North Park Church, here in the North Hills of Pittsburgh. This year we have been blessed to add a new asst. pastor to our team, helping us develop our care group ministry in the Body. You can find us online at www.northparkepc.org. Dan’s sermons are available, written or audio, under “resources.” Plans for 2013 include Florida trips in January, May, and July, as Dan continues doctoral studies and our family gathers for the first time for a beach week of fun in the sun. Other trips still TBD, but they will likely have something to do with three precious grandchildren, two beloved mothers, & a world desperately in need of God's love. With all that changes, we appreciate ever more those things that do not change – most especially the mighty, saving love of Jesus, whose name remains ever sweet and whose faithfulness never ends. email: Beth- beth.hendley@gmail.com or Dan - danhendley@northparkepc.org Home address: 306 Forest Edge Court, Wexford, PA 15090 724-759-7039
