January's Beautiful for Thee is dedicated to Scott and Janna Phelps, two servants of the Lord, who are perfect examples of a family with a life mission! One of the goals all Christian families should have is a marriage that is mission driven, which produces multi- generational family fruitfulness for the Lord. The Phelps' "mission" is servanthood. That servanthood is directed toward the Lord's church, God's man, God's people, and ultimately the lost around them.
Scott and Janna, along with their children Nick and Sam, are known around NTBC as creative, busy, sacrificing, selfless servants. There is nothing that is too much to ask of Bro. Phelps. When Janna learned to reverence and respect these attributes in her husband's spirit, she then became a willing and inspiring help meet to him in all the projects that he enjoys doing. Together, they are a great team for the Lord and an inspiration of servanthood to others. Any day of the week, after working his secular job, Scott can be found helping others. He and his sons can be seen around town, shoveling snow from driveways, mowing lawns and doing general fix-it work for many members of the church as well as friends and neighbors. Janna works in our Christian school as a teacher-helper and is the head of our decorating department and the inspiration behind many banquets, dinners, receptions, ladies meetings, graduations and the like.
She is a happy and faithful member of our church orchestra and the sound would not be the same without her beautiful french horn!
The Christmas season at our church was a perfect example of what the Phelps family is about. Scott, along with his boys, worked tirelessly on stage props for cantata by constructing platforms, walls and a church front for the Harley Hall fellowship time.
As a labor of love, Scott built a beautiful new pulpit podium that will be a treasured keepsake for the Lord's church for years to come! On top of all this, he was an integral part of the drama presentation and the Lord used him to speak to all our hearts!
Christmas to the Phelps family is all about the Lord's church, Cantata time and being a blessing to others. Their children know this to be true and they willingly support their parents in "the mission".
With much gratitude, we dedicate January's 'Beautiful for Thee' to the Phelps family. You are a beautiful example of longevity in giving, selflessness and faithfulness in the doing of it. Thank you for being a blessing ! We love you all!

A mom has no greater joy than knowing her children know and serve the Lord. When I opened your January issue of "Beautiful for Thee", and saw my son and his family honored by your church it brought tears to my eyes. All that Scott is, is from the Lord and his submissive spirit to Him. I thank God for using Scott, Janna and the boys in your church family. I am also humbled by the way God is using them in Larimore, not only in the church but as a testimony at work and in the community. They truly are a very special family. Thank you so much for this beautifu tribute to them and their service. In Christ's love,
This is truly a testimony of Scott and Janna's faithfulness to the Lord, willingness to serve and selfless sacrifice. It is truly a blessing to see how God is using them to do his work and to personally know how he has blessed them.
Scott and Janna as well as thier boys are a blessing to me as a sister and an aunt. God has blessed me through them as I have seen them grow and change over the years.
I thank God for you all.

Hebrews 6:10
For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister.
I too, am happy to see this family honored. We love the Phelps and know that they love God with all of their hearts. It is a privilege to call them our friends and family in Christ! Ginger T.
