Just a couple of weeks left in the first month of the new year! Last Sunday we celebrated the Sanctity of Human Life in our worship; on the 24th we will honor the saints of our family who died this past year.

Beginning in February we will embark on a new journey as we explore the Fruit of the Spirit. The main text will be Galatians 5:16-26. Each week's topic will also interact with Scriptures outside the main text that reinforce the topic and give us practical direction for life.

There will be a short break for Holy Week (March 28 through April 7). This is the most holy time of the year for the church. I pray that you will be moved to attend worship, to be fed and nurtured along the journey with Christ toward the Cross.
