From the Pastor

January 2025

Another year has passed and as we unwind from the holidays, it is time to take a good hard look at how we are going to move into this New Year. 

As each year passes, we grow a bit older and, hopefully, a bit more aware of the world we live in.
As the events in the world seem to spiral out of our control, we must grab onto those things that we can control and make them work. God has given us the way to make our lives work in such a manner that we can have power over whatever may
trouble us. The combination of prayer and study of God’s Word will build an awareness in us of just how much God loves and cares for each one of us. There are so many problems in our lives that we cannot control, it is for us to learn how to
deal with those problems we can control. It becomes very easy to put more
emphasis on what we can’t do than on what we can do. The best way to make our
lives positive is to allow God to handle the things that will overwhelm us. It is never
easy to give up what we think is our power and allow someone else to deal with it.
As this New Year develops, make an effort to give God the chance to help.
While God may not remove all your problems, He will show you how to deal with
them. Time spent in prayer, study and time spent with others who share their faith
will return blessings to us that cannot be measured. Have a happy and blessed New
Year.
