Fwd: Happy New Year, Beloved Community!

Thank you Pastor Tim, if I could add my prayers for this community and all people on this New Year's Day:

Prayer for Peace, Healing, Understanding, and Strength

Heavenly Father,

As we enter this new year, we turn to You with hearts full of hope. We ask for Your peace to reign in our hearts, homes, and in the world. Bring healing to all who suffer in body, mind, or spirit, and grant us the grace to trust in Your divine will.

Fill us with understanding, that we may see others with compassion and walk the path of forgiveness. Strengthen us in times of trial, and guide us with Your wisdom to face each day with courage and faith.

Through the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary and all the saints, may we grow closer to You and bring Your light to those around us.

We ask this through Christ, our Lord. Amen.

May 2025 bring you blessings and renewed faith!!

Hi everyone, as we enter a new year, let us take a moment to reflect on the journey we’ve walked together in 2024. This past year has brought its share of challenges—for us as a church and for many of us personally. Yet through it all, God’s grace has been our anchor, and your unwavering generosity, commitment and faith have been a testament to God's work in and through us. 

Isaiah 43:19 reminds us, "I am about to do a new thing; now it springs forth; do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert." Truly, God has been faithful, guiding us and enabling us to persevere in our mission. 

Let us celebrate the joy and service that all of you have shared with our communities to bring God's kingdom into our world.  You have been the hands and feet of Christ, making a difference in the lives of others.  

As we step into this new year, my heart is filled with gratitude, hope and excitement for the road ahead. Together, with God’s guidance we will continue to deepen our faith, build each other up in love, and shine brightly as a light in our community. Let us commit to walking this path with trust in God’s plan, gratitude for God's blessings, and a renewed spirit of unity and service. 

My prayer for each of you in 2025 is for joy, peace, and abundant blessings in your lives and families. May we embrace this new season with open hearts, ready to witness the amazing things God has in store for us. God is Good! 

Blessings and Have a Happy and safe New Year!
