Happy New Year!
I'm not sure how long we are supposed to say that, but I am looking forward to all that God is going to do in and through us in the coming year.
I pray your time in worship today will be a source of encouragement for your faith and hopefully, give you a moment to reframe your perspective for the year 2022 and move you toward living with more intention this year.
If you have any prayer requests or questions, please us the link in this worship program or the pew cards available in the seat backs in front of you.
