Another year has just about come and gone. We've weathered some storms as a nation and world. I hope this holiday season is full of joy and celebration for you and your family.
As I reflect on this year, I am again reminded of what a great community FBC is. Your love and impact on our local community continue to encourage the leadership and me at FBC. May we always remember that it is through the work of the Holy Spirit that we are able to do what we do.
"But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and remind you of everything I have told you." - John 14:26
"When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth..." - John 16:13
Advent has reminded us that we wait for the return of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Only through Him can we truly experience true peace in our lives. I pray for opportunities for this church family to share the peace of Jesus with your family and the greater community. May we be marked as a people of genuine peace and hope. May our love and joy for life spill into our places of work, our families, and our circle of friends.
"For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared ahead of time for us to do." - Ephesians 2:10
We are moving into 2023 with some momentum and in a position to do more as a church. Be thinking about who you want to share the Good News with this coming year, and maybe plan to invite them into FBC to hear and experience the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We certainly don't want to be the "best-kept secret" in town. We want our community to know about the good things God is doing right in our midst.
I look forward to seeing what our family accomplishes for God's Kingdom as we move into the future.
Blessings to you all, and may your Christmas be full of wonder and joy!
