January message series sets tone for the New Year

As we begin the New Year, most of us are making plans of some sort.  Some of us (like me) are making plans to lose weight (again); others are making plans for major changes in their lives, a marriage, a move, or a job change.   But as the New Year begins, it is also important for us to think about the spiritual plans that we should be making for the New Year, plans that can help us to grow and advance in our Christian lives.

 

That is the purpose of our new series of sermons that began last Sunday.  Each week we will take up a new topic that represents a key area of our spiritual life.  In some areas we will find the message simply affirming habits that we already have in place.  In other areas, we will find ourselves deeply challenged to strengthen our walk with God, our witness, and our service.

 

I invite you to join us for this insightful and inspiring series.  It will carry into February and be followed by our 50 Day Lenten Emphasis which will start February 19.
