Happy New Year!
No, I haven’t lost all sense of time, but when one is
part of a church, there are several different new years between the end of
November and February that should be recognized. We know them well:
- The First Sunday in Advent, four Sundays before Christmas is, of
course, the new year of the Christian Church Calendar.
- Then there is January 1st, the new year of our calendar
year and the budget year of the church.
- The annual meeting of the church, usually the last Sunday in January
marks a new year in the life of our congregation, especially when we
begin a year with some new leadership and a renewed spirit.
- Finally, a church like this really gets down to the business of
their new year during the month of February.
Therefore, I say, "Happy New Year!" May this
year in the life the congregation be a year of exciting, healthy, faithful
living out of God’s Spirit.
Peace,
Bob Nuhn, Interim Pastor
