THANKFUL * FAITHFUL * BLESSED

Dear Beloved Church Family,

As we step into this New Year, my heart is filled with gratitude for each of you. Over the past year, we have walked together through moments of joy, seasons of challenge, and countless reminders of God’s faithfulness. Your prayers, service, and love for one another have been a living testimony of Christ’s presence among us.

This year, I believe the Lord is calling us to deepen our roots in Him and widen our reach to others. Let us commit ourselves to prayer, to the study of His Word, and to acts of kindness that reflect His heart. May we be a church that not only gathers in worship but also goes forth in mission—bringing light to places of darkness and hope to hearts in need.

As we begin this new chapter, I encourage you to set aside time to seek God’s direction for your life. Ask Him to show you where He wants you to grow, serve, and shine. Together, let’s trust that He will do “immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine” in the year ahead.

May the peace of Christ guard your hearts, the joy of the Spirit fill your days, and the love of the Father guide your every step.

With love and blessings,

Pastor Barbara L. Whitlow
