...the New Year!It is hard to believe that this is the first Sunday of a New Year. And a new decade to boot!
With the dawning of a New Year comes all the hopes and excitement of a fresh beginning. As we remember the blessings of this past year and look eagerly toward the bright future of this new year, I want to share a special New Year’s Prayer with you all. It is the same one that our Tuesday Noon Prayer Group used this week.
O God of new beginnings and wonderful surprises, thank you for the gift of a new year. May it be a time of grace, a time to grow in faith and love, a time to renew commitments to following Your Son, Jesus. May it be a year of blessing, a time to cherish family and friends, a time to renew efforts at work, a time to embrace faith more fully. Walk with us, please, in every day and every hour of this new year, that the light of Christ might shine through us, in spite of any weaknesses and failings. Above all, may we remember this year that we are pilgrims on the sacred path to You. Amen.
I pray that 2010 will be a blessed year for you and yours, and for all who gather in faith here at the Encanto Community Church! Happy New Year!
Yours in the journey,
Rev. Brian
