This is the final Sunday of 2007.  I trust you have had a truly great year in the Lord.  God has blessed our church this year with His powerful presence.  We rejoice in the way He has moved in our hearts to become more like Christ.  Next Sunday is one of my favorite Sunday's of the year as we have a "Super Start Sunday."  On this day we will reveal the new theme for the year which will set the tone for 2008.  I think the theme will be a year long reminder to each of us.  The pin of our theme is both sharp and attractive, so do not miss getting yours next Sunday.

The staff and I want to thank you for all your kindness shown during this Christmas season.  So many of you have given cards, notes, and gifts as an expression of your care and thoughtfulness.  It is a honor to be part of such a great church.  Thank you for your support and encouragement.

Let me encourage each of you to dedicate yourself to read the Bible through in 2008.  We have given out so many of the beautiful reading guides.  You will not believe the incredible impact this will have in your life.  You will see and learn things about God and His Word that you never knew.  You will see God's plan for the ages  unfold right before you.  You will cherish your salvation in an even deeper way.  Get started on Tuesday and see God work in your life.  Happy New Year!

For Him,

Pastor
