Happy New Year!
It’s a great day to have the opportunity to worship to-
gether as a family in God’s house. Even though Jane and I are away for
yet another week, we do want to welcome you and to share our grati-
tude for your continued prayer support, your cards and calls during the
weeks we’ve been away. God has been so good and we’ve learned a
great deal about His providence and care. God willing, we will be back
next Sunday and I’m looking forward to being in the pulpit.
Today we are so blessed to have one of our favorites preaching for us.
Dr. Jim Bond served for a number of years as General Superintendent in
the Church of the Nazarene. Now retired, he and his lovely wife Sally
live in Colorado Springs. He has filled the pulpit for us often and I know
you will not be disappointed with his message today.
May God bless you today and grant you a Spirit-filled New Year. God is
Good.
Anticipating,
Pastor Tim
“My House Will Be Called A House Of Prayer” Isaiah 56:7
Join us in praying together this week…
Thank you Lord, for the new year and your plans for us.
“See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? |
I am making a way in the desert and streams in the wasteland.”
Isaiah 43:19
