    It’s Winter!

    I hope you are keeping safe and warm in this winter weather! Spend some good family time together and thank God for his blessing of life and love during this season.

    New Year!

    We are beginning a new year—can you believe we are starting 2023?! Do you ever make New Year’s resolutions? I used to in the past then never kept them, so I don’t make resolutions. I do ask the Father always to help me be the person He desires and has made me to be. This is a daily prayer. Make it a priority to see what God would have you do and live by His plan rather than your own. This is a verse I have hanging in my office that is a good reminder:

    “Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me. Do not cast me from your presence or take your Holy Spirit from me; Restore to me the joy of your salvation and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me,” (Psalm 51:10-12).

    This is my prayer for the new year. What is yours?

    What to look for in January

    Regular Wednesday nights resume January 4 at 6:00 p.m. That first AWANA of the new year will be “bring a friend night” and store, so get ready!

    Family Nerf Games

    Get ready for a FUN night for all ages, Friday, January 27 at 6:30 p.m. – it’s right around the corner! Invite friends and neighbors. Bring your own Nerf gun; we will supply foam bullets. Also bring a snack to share. We will provide water and popcorn.

    “The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face shine upon you, and be gracious to you; the Lord lift up his countenance upon you, and give you peace,” (Numbers 6:24-26).

    It is this most wonderful time of the year! But it can be a stressful and busiest time of the year. Take time to reflect on God’s great love for us and celebrate that gift – JESUS!

    Our teachers did a great job teaching our kids the International Missions Study about Philippines and what God is doing there.
