Below is our pastor’s article for the January 2020 newsletter:
New Years is always a time of mixed emotions for me. Christmas (and all its
mystery) is over and it is time to put away the tree and decorations for
another year. It is also a time of new beginnings and I excitedly begin my
preparations.
So, I say a bittersweet goodbye to the old and welcome in the
new with great expectations.
Looking back together as a church we have much to rejoice about. We had a
fabulous Christmas season and have been incredibly blessed by serving
others in our community. In some ways, it has also been a difficult year as
dear friends have moved away, others have been unable to attend church,
and still others have struggled with difficult medical issues. We also still
grieve those who have gone to be with the Lord.
We look forward to what God will do in 2020. Our newly elected Leadership
Team will begin a process of discernment for our future. The process will
include study and prayer. We will be doing an assessment of the needs of the
church and the needs of the community. The entire congregation will
eventually become involved as we seek input and feedback.
What will this new year bring? The scripture tells us that “if anyone is in
Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!” (2
Corinthians 5:17) I am looking forward to how Christ will work in and
through us in the coming year.
Blessings for a fruitful New Year!
Pastor Sharon
