Welcome to 2022! As years go by, change and growth happen, whether we notice or plan for it. In my former home, the kitchen wall contained pen marks noting how much a girl who had once lived there grew each year. Some years included significant growth spurts; others didn't. This beloved daughter had little control over her height. Although not recorded for me to see, the girl also changed in ways she intended.
Similarly, churches change and grow from careful effort and extraordinary, unseen forces. The past two years have strengthened our capacity to respond to the unknown with hopeful intentionality. Likewise, the NACCC has evolved over the decades due to diligent planning and external culture shifts. As we venture into this new year, may God guide our steps as we deliberately chart our course.
