“ a g t i m d H t m c h i e f — g p T Looking back on the past year, Good News Wants to Know... what is your most cherished memory of 2024? 2024 has been a challenging year for many. Personally, we have experienced a lot of loss in our church and even in my own family; however, with Jesus, there is always hope. My most cherished memory of 2024 was the opportunity to celebrate our church campus’s 5 year anniversary at Calvary Chapel Parkland in April. It was such a milestone to look back at all that God has done, what He is still doing and look forward to what He has next. It is the same way with our lives at the end of a year, we should always reflect on the past, look forward to the future and make the most of the present that we are in. Happy New Year! Steve Daigle, Pastor, Calvary Chapel Parkland As I reflect on 2024, I am thankful for health and the ability to continue being productive with my most cherished memory being the hugs from our grandchildren. William “Bill” C. Davell, Director, Tripp Scott Dani and I had another baby this year (#5). It was pretty easy (for me). His name is Finn (Winslow). We named him that because we’re done having babies (probably). Bob Denison, President, Denison Yachting I have been thinking a lot about this question. Looking for an answer, perhaps that's less emotional and personal, but there is nothing more cherished than feeling God's presence in your life. This occurred several times this past year. Most significantly when I lost my only sister to cancer this summer. She was truly amazing. Impacting lives across South Florida. God's presence in my life allowed me to publicly speak in her honor. He gave me the perfect words as only He can. His words impacted lives with the truth that He is the only worthy vine. I miss her terribly but cherish His real and powerful presence in times of need. Char Talmadge, Executive Director, Rescue Upstream My most cherished memories of 2024 (and every other year) will always be those precious moments with my family and friends. They can be spending time on vacation, a family dinner or just being together in the backyard on a Sunday. Family is everything – treasure every moment with them. Happy New Year! Chip LaMarca, State Representative, Florida House District 100 Jennifer’s and my most cherished moment for 2024 was while the whole family was gathered at our house, in person and via Facetime for my birthday, Tim and his wife Becky shared they were expecting their first child, a boy, who will be born in March 2025. We have prayed for this little one and will continue to do so for his whole life. H. Collins Forman, P.A. A cherished memory of 2024 was meeting couples from an online parents group that Madelyn and I lead. It's a virtual small group with couples from multiple states. In November, the entire group flew to Atlanta to spend a weekend together and finally meet in person. The group has grown very close and the chance to dine together, attend church together and simply spend time together was something very special. Craig D. Huston, Summit Achievers My most cherished memory in 2024 was a trip down memory lane to my beloved Rocky Mountains where I fell in love with the West while attending the University of Colorado. I stayed with and witnessed to three families I hadn't seen in many years. We toured ski resorts, rescued wildlife, crossed the Continental Divide, almost got trapped by a wildfire and had various wolf breeds, at a reserve, respond in kind to our howling at them. Gratifying time--my college roomie received the Lord! Deborah Cusick, FAU Campus Volunteer, Intervarsity Christian Fellowship My most cherished memory of 2024 was spending two weeks by my mother’s bedside in the hospital. She was hospitalized for 8 weeks and was able to go home. The cherished moments together reading scripture, singing hymns, walking the hospital and watching her sleep changed my life. Grateful to see my dad change his life to become her primary caregiver over this last year too. Dennis DeMarois, CEO/Executive Director, Gathering Palm Beach County Cherished memory for 2024 was a family reunion in Canada – 30 of us on a lake for a week. My three sisters and all the nephews and nieces with their kids was a special time of memories and stories. Don Campion, President, Banyan Air Service, Inc., and Team Lead, Egbe Medical Mission Conducting the wedding ceremonie2s for my only nephew and only niece. It was enough to make an old man cry. Doug Sauder, Pastor, Calvary Chapel Fort Lauderdale My most cherished memory of 2024 is easy. It is the partnership between HOPE South Florida and Calvary Chapel. It was truly a God sent blessing! Dr. Fred Scarbrough, Founder, Scarbrough Animal Hospital and HOPE South Florida After nine years of hopes and prayers, my son Ian and his wife Gabby gave birth to a son named “Henry”…they named him after my son’s dog at FSU. Gregg Wallick Good memories are cherished moments with family and friends. Having my family here from Ohio for the holidays is the best! Sharing meals, coffee and conversation with loved ones is forever in our hearts!
