A Christian New Year Manifesto

 


Are you ready to make a public declaration of what is going to govern your life in 2022? That’s an intimidating question. But an important one. With all the uncertainty of the past few years we’ve settled into a “take each day as it comes” way of looking at life. There’s certainly something to that way of thinking, but regardless of our circumstances, the priorities and principles which determine our plans and decisions should not change. In fact, it is vital to reaffirm the truths on which we base our lives in times of so much confusion. 

As we head into year three of the Covid era we need to ground ourselves again and again in the unchanging God who gives us unchanging hope and wisdom on which to build our daily lives. Rather than looking within ourselves to find the means to cope successfully in the “new normal”, God invites us to look to him. 

This first Sunday of the New Year is an excellent opportunity to reaffirm and reembrace the massive, historical, and eternal truths of Jesus Christ. Together let’s confirm he is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. Together let’s promise to build our lives on the rock of his salvation. Together, let’s commit ourselves to one another as Christians walking with Christ to eternity. 

Worship service times: Saturday: 6:00 pm, Sunday: 10:00 am.
