As a Church and a Parish we are in a constant state of change and renewal and reshaping. The prophet Jeremiah knew this all too well when he beautifully proclaimed that our life and our churches are to be like clay in the hands of a potter. Our role is to simply be open to the changes around us and to trust in God's love and goodness. The gifted people, resources and attributes of our Parish allow us to move forward with faith.

Happy New Year!

It’s that time of year again when God has given us the gift of a new year and it is natural for us to look forward and make some plans, promises and resolutions.

We’re going to lose weight, exercise more, get out of debt, stick to a budget, take better care of our health, save for the future, and spend more time with family.

We make resolutions because we want to improve ourselves and our quality of life.

But what would a set of New Year’s resolutions look like for you and your church and your own spiritual life?

Though many more could be added, here are some to consider:

  •  Pray more. You will be surprised how God will answer your prayers.
  •  Invest in your spiritual gift(s).
  •  Care for yourself spiritually.
  •  Confront debilitating patterns of sin.
  •  Be a community  builder by giving back to the area in which you live.
  •  Read more of God’s Holy Word – pick a book of the bible and read it straight through. I recommend the Gospel of John.
  •  Prioritize your family, especially if you have a young family.
  •  Be more open to change and God working in your life.

 

May God bless each of us as we draw closer to the one who has created us in love and what good things for us.

The Reverend Brent Ham
