Pastor’s Corner – Sunday, Jan4

Dear Beloved,

As we begin a new year together, I want to thank you for the past year of worshipping and serving God together. It is truly a joy to worship with you on Sunday mornings. It is a blessing to serve with you. Thank you for all the ways you give generously to the general fund, to food ministries, and to special requests from the community. Thank you for all the ways you share your time, energy, hearts, souls, patience, kindness, talents, ideas, and compassion. Thank you for all the ways you reflect the love, grace, and faith of Jesus. Thank you for all the ways you welcome and include each other and new people. Thank you for inviting people to join you for worship and serving. Thank you for being willing to grow and learn together. Thank you for being open and attentive to what God's Spirit is doing and wants to do among and through us. Thank you for your prayers for each other, the community, and the world God so dearly cherishes. Praises be to God for who God is and God's love that forms us and guides us. May you feel this love as this new year begins and all the way through 2026. New Year's Blessings!

Great is the Lord and most worthy of praise; his greatness no one can fathom. One generation commends your works to another; they tell of your mighty acts. They speak of the glorious splendor of your majesty—and I will meditate on your wonderful works. They tell of the power of your awesome works—and I will proclaim your great deeds. They celebrate your abundant goodness and joyfully sing of your righteousness. (Psalm 145:3-6)
