Pastor's Pen

Dear Church Family,

When we think of the New Year, our minds often turn to New Year's resolutions. Sometimes we make great and lofty resolutions that we know we cannot keep.

Music Ministry

What an incredible journey 2024 has been for Capri! As I take a moment to reflect on the year, I’m filled with pride as I recall how we not only faced challenges but emerged stronger than ever. I’d love to share some of the standout moments that made this year so memorable:

Outreach Ministry

Thank you for a wonderful 2024.

I have a few 2025 challenges for you:

1. 2024 we had over 200 guests, first time visitors, and new additions to our church family. For 2025 our goal is 300! I know that is quite a jump, but I believe that we can focus in, work hard, and get more people to come visit our church in hopes in joining the Kingdom work we do here at Capri.

2. The tree next to my office will have a new purpose for January. Let us put our new year’s resolutions on the tree and pray for one another. Proverbs 16: 3 Says “Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and he will establish your plans”. Let us come together to commit to the Lord out plans for 2025 so that he may establish and accomplish what we cannot on our own.

Thank you to those of you who participated in putting someone’s name on the tree this December! A staff member and leadership prayed for all those names daily.

Outreach Pastor, Wesley Hasekamp

Missions in Action

The celebration of Christmas followed by ringing in the New Year is behind us. I am certain each of you gave thanks for the many blessings God gave you in 2024. It’s now time to turn your attention to 2025 and pray for family members, friends, our church and the growth of His Kingdom.

My personal prayer is for all my actions and words to please God.
