We are well into our new year and things are going very well. What a joy the Holiday season
was! However, I am always glad when we can get back to a normal pace after the holidays.
This year promises to be a great year for us. We are looking to expand many of our ministries
and continue to dig deep into others.

I am excited to see so many of our people who are growing in their passion and discipline to
study the Word of God. It is awesome to see people bringing Bibles to Church and taking
notes. I cannot tell you how much that means to your growth. We can do all kinds of church
activities but if we are not growing in His Word then we are missing the point of it all.

Through this year we will be exploring more ways to be in mission and ministry with and to our
community. I don’t know all that will be born out of that goal, but I know we are heading in the
direction that God is leading. Always remember, we do not exist for ourselves, but for those that
God calls us to love.

It is imperative in this New Year that we remember to show hospitality at all times. To love
unconditionally at all times. To pray at all times. To support one another at all times. To grow in
the Lord at all times.

We are blessed to be called to make a difference, and I cannot wait to see all the ways that God
is going to pour into that in 2025! Remember that each one of you matters and each one makes
a difference when you are here!

In Him,
Pastor Scott
