IN THIS ISSUE

FROM THE PASTOR...
Church 
 There is just something about the start of a new year that creates a new paragraph in our minds.   Fundamentally there is very little difference between December 30 th of one year and January 2 nd of the next, but for us it truly does feel like the turn of a new page.   For that reason we tend to make goals or find things that will help give guidance and direction to that New Year.  For the past several years I have been intentional in setting reading goals for a new year.  John Wesley used to recommend that his preachers read five hours a day.  This speaks to the importance placed on learning, and I affirm the importance of reading.To read more  click here
