Happy New Year. It is the beginning of 2025. A whole new year lies ahead. Where will God lead us? How will we respond? It is exciting to think of all the possibilities. Session met on Jan. 7 to begin some plans for the year ahead. Our Annual Meeting will take place on Sun. Feb. 16, 2025, right after the service. A light lunch will be served before we look at the year that was and the year ahead. This is a great time for fellowship as well as an opportunity to reflect on the past year and make suggestions for moving forward. Reports from all groups need to be in to me by Feb. 2 at the latest. Rev. Steven would like to form a Pastoral Care Committee. Anyone interested in being a part of this team is invited to attend a meeting on Wed. Jan 22 at 1pm, here at the church. Communion dates for the year have been determined as follows: March 9, June 1, August 3, Oct 5, and Nov 30. Elders in this church are elected on a six year term. This year, six elders will be at the end of their term. We will be holding elections for elders later in the year. Please prayerfully consider who you would nominate as an elder to serve you. Any professing member of the congregation can be nominated. If you are not currently an elder, and would be interested in serving as an elder, there is literature available or ask a ruling elder about what they do. It is indeed a year of potential. Let us remain faithful and open to God’s plan for us. In all your ways acknowledge the Lord and He shall direct your paths. Proverbs 3:6
