Happy New Year
This Year 2026, let us focus on gratitude for God's faithfulness, seeking guidance for a hopeful future, and committing to being instruments of peace, love, and service, faithfully trusting in Jesus Christ as the anchor for all seasons, with prayers for healing, unity, and purpose in the year ahead.
Let us thank God for His guidance through the past year's joys and sorrows, finding strength in His constant presence"and praising the Lord, giving thanks for the gift of a new day and the promise and plans it holds".
Jeremiah 29:11: says; "For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.".
And as this new year begins Let us release old hurts and embrace a new commitment to live God-consciously".
"May we serve those in need and lead the world from darkness to light being the beacon of His peace and a source of strength.
Happy New Year to you all.
Blessings
Pastor John
