"A Future with Hope"

"For I know the plans I have for you, plans for your welfare and not for harm, to give you a future with hope." Jeremiah 29:11

Into a time of uncertainty and transition, the prophet Jeremiah spoke a beautiful word of hope for the future for God's people. God does not abandon. God's people can face the future with faith that in all things God works for their good. You should have received the 2025 Plan for Giving. or download one here. I hope you'll smile at the photos and prayerfully consider your giving for the coming year. 

As Our Savior's builds a budget for 2025 and plans for our future, we do so with good courage, knowing that God's hand is leading us and God's love is supporting us. Grateful for a God who also has plans for our future, A Future with Hope.

Thanks be to God!
